- As a student at St. Cloud State, do you consider the use of open source textbooks and materials to be a means to lower your overall financial cost of attending college?
- Would you, as a student at St. Cloud State, want your professors to consider and/or utilize open source textbooks and materials as an alternative to requiring the purchase of traditionally published textbooks and materials?
- Because internationals students are required to purchase one specific health insurance option to the exclusion of any others by the state of Minnesota, do you think international students should be provided healthcare coverage?
- Should professors be required to post tests/exam dates for their courses on D2L’s online calendar to ensure students remain aware of upcoming assessments?
- Do you think the University should implement banded tuition beginning FY19 (Fall 2017), where undergraduate students taking 12-18 credits all pay the same flat rate for tuition per semester? As it is currently planned, this would not include graduate students or summer session?
