Follows CSU Executive Order No. 1054 – CSU Student Fee Policy Effective January 14, 2011

• This executive order brings together the California State University Board

policies that comprise the CSU Fee Policy, defines the change in terminology to tuition fees for some Category I fees, and continues the delegated range for the establishment and adjustment of Category III miscellaneous course fees.

• Continues practice of seeking the advice of the Campus Fee Advisory Committee combined with

student referenda and/or alternative consultation processes for mandatory student fees

• Continues reporting requirements for all student fees to Campus Fee Advisory Committee
• Defines five categories of Student Fees

The Finance Service Group is responsible for managing the Campus Fee Program, reviewing proposals to make changes to or establish new campus mandatory fees, miscellaneous course and lab fees, and any other student fees other than tuition fees. The Campus Fee Program is twofold, consisting of Campus Fiscal Officer (CFO) review and the Campus Fee Advisory Committee (CFAC).

• Reference: Campus Fee Program

• The role of the Campus Fee Advisory Committee is to advise the president
• n setting Category II & III fees

Advisory vs Oversight

• Scope of committee limited to advisory role in establishment and/or

determination of Category II & III fees.

• Advise on referendum or alternative consultation.

Information vs Advisory

• Category IV and V fees may be established and/or adjusted by the

President.

• An annual fee report is presented annually that identifies all student

fees by Category.

• The committee is comprised of 11 members who serve one fiscal year terms, with

• Associate Students President, or designee

• Application Fee
• Category II: Campus mandatory fees. Fees that must be paid to enroll in or SJSU.

• Category III: Miscellaneous course fee. Fees associated with a state supported course for

materials and services used in course instruction.

• Effective Fall 2012, SJSU only has Miscellaneous Course Fees for Field Trips. All other

previous miscellaneous course fees have been subsumed into the SSETF Category II fee.

• Category IV: Fees other than Category II or III paid to receive materials, services, use of

facilities, fees resulting from dishonored payments, late submissions, misuse of property, or security deposits.

• Late submission
• Orientation
• Off-campus Study Abroad programs
• Testing
• Category V: Fees paid to self-support programs such as Parking, Housing, and Continuing Ed
• Housing License
• Parking permits
• Continuing Ed courses

The following rules apply when determining if miscellaneous course fees can be charged for exceptional materials or services in the classroom:



Miscellaneous course fees can only be charged for the actual cost of the material, service or use of facility being provided.



A miscellaneous course fee can cannot be charged for the basic complement of classroom supplies and materials required for instruction. These include but are not limited to: chalk, erasers, paper clips, pointers, classroom instructional equipment such as projectors (slide, overhead, computer, etc.) and associated supplies (bulbs, transparencies, software, etc.), or any other supplies deemed necessary to equip the instructional space for courses.



A miscellaneous course fee can cannot be charged for the basic complement of laboratory supplies and instructional equipment necessary for classroom lab requirements identified in the course description. These include but are not limited to equipment, test tubes, work stations, computers or any supplies necessary to equip laboratory space to complement classroom course instruction.



Administrative charges and inflationary factors can cannot be added to miscellaneous course fees. Only the actual cost of the material, service or use of a facility can be charged.



A miscellaneous course fee can cannot be charged to fund the basic cost of

• instruction. Instructional costs are funded through marginal cost dollars, tuition

fee revenue, and permanent base budget allocations.

 First Full Year of the fee  First Year of the SSETF Advisory Committee  Process Issues:

• Process for Presidential approval of requests was

not clear to the campus community.

• Process including a secondary review of the SSETF

Advisory Committee Recommendations by the President’s Cabinet. This was not anticipated in the funding timeline.

• Decisions on proposal funding did not occur until

August 22nd.

 Subsumed Misc. Course Fee Funding

 Great deal of discussion within Academic Affairs in preparation of

the SSETF Funding proposal for this SSETF priority.

 Funding was requested for each College with each College

developing and implementing a methodology for departmental

• allocations. Set funding was requested for the Colleges and not

requested to be adjusted by headcount or Full Time Equivalent Student (FTES).

 Previous Misc. Courses were funded per enrolled headcount. Most

fees had not been adjusted for many years due to the strict acceptable use based on Executive Order (E.O. 1047) now superseded by E.O. 1054)



Requested: $2.8 million



Committee Recommended: $2.8 million



Awarded: $2.6 million
