The Student Senate approved a resolution in opposition of block tuition at a meeting Tuesday night.

Block tuition would change UF tuition from a per-credit-hour fee system to a flat-fee tuition, based off of the cost of 15 credit hours.

According to the resolution, the Senate opposes block tuition because there are students who take fewer than 15 credit hours because they have other obligations, such as work, extracurricular activities or family obligations.

The resolution stated that these activities are essential to prepare students for life after college, and block tuition could mean students would have less time for these activities.

The resolution passed unanimously, without debate.

Senators also debated amendments to the 800 codes of the Student Constitution, which outline the rules for allocating Student Government finances.
