Summer Revenue Share

In 2011, the CP/EVC approved a formulaic distribution of Summer Session tuition revenue to incentivize summer enrollment growth and support department costs associated with summer course offerings. In 2016, this revenue model was expanded to include a divisional component, offsetting permanent divisional budget reductions made effective in fiscal year 2017.  The Summer Revenue Share model was again augmented beginning Summer 2022 to include additional revenue share for summer courses taught by a graduate student instructor (GSI).

Based upon final Summer Session enrollment, the Summer Revenue Share model provides funding as follows:

• Academic departments receive $5 per course unit per student for regular courses and $60 per unit per student for undergraduate independent study courses.
• Academic divisions receive $20 per course unit per student.
• Departments also receive incentive funding of $100 per course unit for any summer course taught by a graduate student instructor (GSI).  GSI incentive funding is to be used to support the mentorship and training of GSIs.  As such, these funds should be spent within one to two years of receipt.
