Since more students joined than were expected, Kelly said that next year there should be a difference in fixed costs. Ultimately, Kelly said he would like to see the fixed cost be lowered by $100.

He said that because so many students were concerned about the plan, they looked at all those enrolled to see where everyone stood. The Standard Plan is the most popular plan with 3304 students enrolled. Of those about six percent have spent more than they should have, said Kelly. The Basic Plan follows with 1124 students enrolled with about 60 percent having spent more than they should have.
