Recommendation for Adjusting SARA-Participating Institution Fees
Updated on Tue, 11/21/2023 - 13:04
On November 9, 2023, an announcement was sent to all SARA-participating institutions about a potential future increase to SARA participation fees. For additional information, NC-SARA has prepared and posted on its website a document that includes an overview of the current NC-SARA institutional participation fee structure, the proposed NC-SARA institutional participation fee structure, rationale for the proposed changes, and next steps for board action.
The proposed fee structure change would be the first fee increase since SARA’s inception in 2014. If approved by the NC-SARA Board at their February 2024 virtual meeting, the new fee structure would be effective July 1, 2024.
To learn more, please join us for a webinar on Wednesday, November 29 at 11:00 am Mountain Time:
Presenters will share updates about actions taken at the Fall 2023 NC-SARA Board Meeting, including the potential SARA-participating institution fee increase and the outcomes of voting on the six SARA policy modification proposals that were approved by the regional compacts through their Regional Steering Committees (RSCs).
We will continue to provide updates to the SARA Community as we receive more information about the proposed fee increase. Please email info@nc-sara.org if you have questions.
