UNL tuition, fees low
compared to peers
By Carina Loontjer
Staff Reporter
As many new students and their
parents prepare for college, one
thing they may not be ready for arc
the bills that await them.
Although the bills might seem
large, compared to the other uni
-> «-~«arsiues in us pee* group, ifec Uni-,
verslty of Nebraska-Lincoln is ac
tually a reasonable price, James
Griescn, vice chancellor for stu
dent affairs said.
UNL is the second least expen
sive university in its peer group,
with only the University of Kansas
being cheaper among the 11 schools
in the group.
During the 1992-93 academic
year, UNL students paid an aver
age of $4,952 for their total basic
costs.
This figure includes the cost of
30 hours of undergraduate classes,
room and board in the university
residence halls per year and man
datory fees excluding health facil
ity fees.
Health fees arc excluded be
cause not all of the universities
have the same services available to
students as those provided by UNL.
Overall, UNL costs $1085.00
less than the average of the other
schools in its peer group.

it’s whal the students want,” Griesen
said.
University of Nebraska at Kearney
students have been using a similar
touch-tone phone registration since
April 2.
Griesen said the program has al
ready bocn a success there. The touch
tone phone sy stem did not tic up phone
lines, and the average connect time
for students using the system was 3 1/
2 minutes.
“It went very smoothly for them,”
he said.
Donna Liss, a coordinator of Infor
mation and Management with the
Computing Resource Center, said the
new student information system will
help university personnel deal with an
increasing workload.
“Some of the computer software
wc have goes back to the 1960’s,” she
said. “It’s so dated and we have some
things that we would need to do with
the system that we can’t do.”
Liss said administrators now have
a need for prerequisite checks for
classes, student grade checks and other
needs that the old system could not
handle.
She said these items would eventu
ally be available to students and ad
visers under the new computer sys
tem.
The university is expected to hirp^
at least four people to facilitate the
computer changeover, Liss said.
She said that even though UNL,
UNK and tbc University of Nebraska
at Omaha were buying the same sys
tem from the same vendor, the
program’s software would be differ
ent because of the different proce
dures on each campus.
Still, Liss said sne was impressed
by the success of the UNK voice
registration system.
”1 liked what I saw,” she said.
