Optional Fees
Students may select the following optional fees when they register. Those who select an optional fee for the fall semester pay the academic year rate. The spring semester rate is available only during the spring semester.
Analecta fee. The fee of $12 entitles the student to a copy of Analecta, the University’s literary and arts journal, published annually by the Senate of College Councils and the journal’s editorial and readers staff. Each issue includes works of fiction, nonfiction, drama, art, and poetry by students from the University as well as other universities worldwide. The year’s issue is mailed to the student’s permanent address upon publication.

The fee allows a student to draw one ticket to regular-season home events for men and women in intercollegiate baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, and volleyball, and one discounted ticket to the Texas-Oklahoma football game. The fee is $80 for the academic year or $40 for the spring semester.
