By Elaine Liang, July 31 2026—On July 28, the Students’ Legislative Council (SLC) voted in favour of implementing a flat Mac Hall redevelopment fee of $11.25 for all students during the 2026-27 academic year. Students approved a tiered fee structure in the 2026 general election referendum based on year of enrolment, with students paying less closer to graduation. “The Mac Hall fee can either reverse to the original structure that was approved in the 2026 general election referendum or it can be modified if a new referendum to charge the Mac Hall fee is passed during the 2027 general election,” she said. According to Dziegielewska, collecting the fee this year would not significantly impact the redevelopment timeline because a stable fee structure is first required. SLC is expected to revisit the Mac Hall redevelopment fee ahead of the 2027 general election.
