This executive order is issued under the authority granted
by Education Code Sections 89035 and 89700, Standing Orders of the Board of
Trustees, Chapter II, i, and Board of Trustees' Resolution RFIN 03-04-00, and
consonant with Executive Order Number 740.
Effective January 20, 2005, California State University, Fullerton is
authorized to establish a Category III, Miscellaneous Course Fee for Online
Master of Science in Software Engineering Degree Program at the fee rate of $33
per unit. The fee will cover costs that include high-end backup hardware and
software, digital voice recorders, video streaming hardware and software,
secondary storage devices, laptops, servers, and their upgrades, technical
support, and specialized training for faculty and staff.
Revenue collected from miscellaneous course fees is to be deposited either
in the General Fund or in a local trust account, depending on the nature of the
fee. In accordance with Education Code Section 89721(g), revenue collected may
be deposited in a local trust account where the fee is required of those persons
who, at their option, use the services or facilities, or are provided the
materials, for which the fee is collected. In other words, if the student has
the option to procure the service or materials for which the fee is charged on
the open market or some other way separate from the university and still fulfill
the requirements of the university, the revenue may be deposited in trust.
Revenue so deposited shall be used solely to meet the costs of providing these
services, materials, and facilities. Otherwise, in accordance with Section
89724(a) of the Education Code, revenue collected from miscellaneous course fees
shall be deposited in the State Treasury and credited to the General Fund for
the support of the university in addition to such other amounts as may be
appropriated therefor by the Legislature. |
