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.

Department of Theatre and Dance Package. The fee entitles the student to a specified number of tickets to major season productions at no additional cost as long as tickets are available.
