W.O.O.F. is a student run organization at the University of Georgia. Our main mission is to gain the support of both students and faculty against unnecessary student fees.

Currently, students pay $1, 098 in added student fees each semester. Many of these fees are for facilities and programs that many students choose not to use.

Student Account Activity

  • Green $3
  • Institutional $450
  • Health Center $191
  • Student Facilities $80
  • Athletic $53
  • Activity/Rec $92
  • Technology $120
  • Transportation $109
  • In-State Tuition $3,823

We are fighting for the student’s right to choose where their money goes. Our main focus is the right to waive the activity/rec (Ramsey) and health center fee if a student chooses not to utilize these facilities.

Will you join us in the fight for student’s rights?

The emails I receive from students struggling to cover these costs are exhausting to read because the financial burden is so heavy. I am still pushing for a meeting with the administration regardless of their current refusal to acknowledge our concerns.

Reaching this point has been an exhausting climb but seeing this level of momentum proves we are not fighting alone. I am tired of seeing these charges ignored by the university and this support gives me the grit to keep pushing forward.

1000 bucks a semester is way too much. some of us are trying to pay for school without drowning in debt.
