Fees Schedule

Updated Fee Structure

07/01/2022 the Viking Union will begin implementing room rental rates for departments as well as implementing a Department Special Event rate that will replace the Hosted and Endorsed rates. Additionally, off campus sites such as Lakewood and the Viqueen lodge will incur the Department Special Event rate for non-student groups. This new fee structure will extend to equipment rentals for use outside of the VU.
