ACT To Campaign On Making Student Services Fees VoluntaryACT will campaign to make Student Services Fees voluntary – a move that would offer students real cost relief and ensure they are not forced to fund union activity. “Every domestic university student currently pays a compulsory Student Services Fee of up to $1,253 a year on top of tuition. “In 2011 ACT passed Voluntary Student Membership. “ACT will amend the regulations so universities must offer student services as a menu. We will complete the unfinished business of Voluntary Student Membership and restore genuine choice.”
