Student Technology Advisory Team

At Northwestern State University, a $5.00 per credit hour Student Technology Fee (up to a maximum of $100 per semester) is applied to all enrolled students. This fee directly supports the enhancement of student technology resources across campus.

To ensure students have a voice in how these funds are used, NSU established the Student Technology Advisory Team (STAT)—a student-led committee that oversees all spending of tech fee funds. STAT is dedicated to making sure technology investments reflect the real needs and priorities of the student body.

The committee role helps ensure that NSTEP promotes the technology needs of students, while also approving the annual Student Technology Fee budget. It is responsible for ensuring that the performance of all personnel funded through the student technology fee is evaluated annually, or as requested by STAT, in accordance with the university’s staff evaluation guidelines. Additionally, it adheres to the membership, charge, and role defined for STAT as outlined in the relevant documentation.
