Hibbing Student Handbook
  1. Each student enrolled at Hibbing pays a Student Life Fee per Credit in which they are enrolled.
  2. Visit the Tuition and Fees page for more information about how much students pay for Student Life.
  3. Each year, based on predicted enrollment, Minnesota North College Administration estimates the total amount of all Student Life Fees that will be collected.
  4. Clubs and Organizations on campus place requests for Student Life Funding each year.
  5. A group, comprised of at least 2/3 students, meets annually to evaluate these budget requests and distribute Student Life funds to the Clubs and Organizations on Campus.
  6. If Student Life fees are not spent within a Fiscal Year, they roll into the Student Life Reserve Fund. Clubs do not get to keep unused funding from year to year.
  7. The Student Life Reserve Fund is used to cover the costs of over-expenditures (typically due to an overestimated budget as a result of lower enrollment than anticipated) and, on occasion, the granting of Special Requests for Student Life Funding (again, granted by a committee made up of at least 2/3 students).
  8. Some clubs/organizations use Student Life Funds to supplement their own departmental budgets
  9. Other clubs/organizations supplement Student Life funds through Fundraising efforts.
