The Wisconsin Technical College System Board (WTCSB) recognizes that there are situations where fees may be established by an outside authority in lieu of program fees. Currently, the outside authority fees recognized by WTCSB are the fees established by the Wisconsin Group Dynamics Advisory Council for Instructional Area 818 Group Dynamics and Multiple Offender courses and fees established by the Motorcycle Safety Advisory Council (MoSAC) for Instructional Area 816 Basic Rider and Experienced Rider motorcycle training courses.

Exceptional fees have not been authorized for the Instructional Area 812 Traffic Safety course.

Therefore, standard program and material fees apply to this course. The FY 2016-17 fees for a 0.40 credit Traffic Safety course are $52.14 program fee, $4.50 material fee and $18.00 uniform processing fee - totaling $74.64.

Group Dynamics / Multiple Offender/Failure to Yield

The System Office, WisDOT and the Wisconsin Group Dynamics Advisory Council jointly establish the fees for these courses. These outside authority fees are in lieu of program fees but do not include material fees of $4.50, which must also be charged. The fee established for the Group Dynamics courses applies to all offerings regardless of the credit value of the course offering and is always evenly divisible by $5.00. The fees for 2016-17 Group Dynamics courses shall be $180.00 plus a $4.50 material fee - regardless of the credit value of the course offering.

The Group Dynamics fee automatically becomes the fee for 0.60 credit Multiple Offender courses. Fees for Multiple Offender courses offered for other than 0.60 credits are computed based on the rate established for the 0.60 credit course (rounded to the nearest $5.00). As with Group Dynamics course offerings, a $4.50 material fee (Material Fee Category 00) must be charged for all Multiple Offender course offerings. The 2016-17 Multiple Offender fee shall be determined from the following table based on the credit value of the course offering plus a $4.50 material fee - regardless of the credit value of the course offering.

The Group Dynamics fee is prorated for the 0.10 credit Failure to Yield course (rounded to the nearest

$5.00). As with Group Dynamics course offerings, a $4.50 material fee (Material Fee Category 00) must be charged. For 2016-17, the fee shall be $30.00.

For accounting purposes, the course fees are to be reported under UFFAS revenue classification 4540 (refunds under classification 4541) and the Material Fees are to be recorded in the regular Material Fee accounts.

The System Office, WisDOT and the Wisconsin Group Dynamics Advisory Council have also jointly established the following FY 2016-17 uniform processing fees for these courses and Traffic Safety courses. Processing fees are charged to recover the costs resulting from the unique record keeping and judicial court reporting requirements associated with these courses. These processing fees are to be reported under UFFAS revenue classification 4573.

Group Dynamics (IA 818) $56.00 Multiple Offender (IA 818) $84.00 Failure to Yield (IA 812) $18.00 Traffic Safety (IA 812) $18.00

Motorcycle Training – Effective for Fiscal Year 2016-17

The System Office, WisDOT and the Motorcycle Safety Advisory Council (MoSAC) jointly establish the fees for these courses. These outside authority fees are in lieu of program fees but do not include material fees or enterprise fees, which must also be charged.

The following table contains the fees that are to be charged for calendar year 2016 motorcycle courses.

Please note that the table contains fee information for all courses proposed by DOT.

COURSE CREDITS

Enterprise Charge - The amount in the Enterprise Charge column covers costs incurred by WisDOT for insurance and materials provided to motorcycle rider course enrollees. Districts collect this amount for the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. Therefore, it is not a revenue to the WTCS district and is not subject to refund if the student drops the class after the 1st class session. This amount is to be recorded as an accounts payable (classification 2100 – 2199) in the General Fund or Special Revenue Fund to recognize that it must be remitted to WisDOT.

The course fee is composed of the following components:

Course Fees - College Provided Motorcycles

Course Fees - Student Provided Motorcycles

Number of Credits Operational Direct

For accounting purposes, districts have two options:

1) record the entire amount from the Course Fee column in the General Fund or Special Revenue Fund under revenue classification 4540 (refunds under classification 4541), or

2) record the operational component (direct and indirect) in the General Fund or Special Revenue Fund and the capital component (range capital, range maintenance, and motorcycles) in the Capital Projects Fund. If this option is used, only the Operational portion of the Course Fee amount from the table above is to be recorded in revenue classification 4540 in the General Fund or Special Revenue Fund. The capital portion is to be recorded in classification 4799 in the Capital Projects Fund.

Full-Cost Recovery Background and Implementation -

In late 2005, the system office reached an agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) and the Motorcycle Safety Advisory Council (MoSAC) to establish, net of WisDOT grant funds available to the colleges, a process to establish full-cost recovery tuition rates for basic and experienced motorcycle rider courses.

The System Office conducted a comprehensive base-line study of district actual FY 2004-05 costs. Based on the results of the study, the system office, WisDOT and MoSAC agreed to phase in full-cost recovery rates over a three year period – 2006-07 through 2008-09. It was also agreed to index annual increases based on the percentage increase in the postsecondary/ vocational adult program fee rate.

The full-cost-recovery rate calculations include both actual operational costs and a capital component.

Capital costs included are training range maintenance (resurfacing, striping, etc.), new range development and motorcycle replacement. These capital costs were historically covered through WisDOT grants but funding shortages have resulted in WisDOT limiting grants to direct training costs.

Number of

For rate setting purposes, range maintenance costs are amortized over a 3-year period, range

development costs are amortized over a 10-year period and motorcycle replacement costs are based on a $3,000 per cycle cost and a 5-year fleet replacement schedule.
