- The comprehensive fee is a consolidation of individual course- and campus-required fees. This single fee replaces the prior fees for technology support, printing, labs, facilities, tutoring, student activities and other course fees. It does not replace individual on-demand and non-required service fees (e.g., private music lessons, transcript services, health insurance, and parking). All students at St. Edward's University pay the comprehensive fee.
