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 May 6, 2005, California State University, Chico is authorized to establish Category III, Miscellaneous Course Fees for Agriculture Business Section ABUS 456 at a fee rate of $25, Mechanical Engineering Course Sections MECH 100, 200, 306, and 308 at a fee range of $8 to $11 and Mechatronic Engineering Course Sections MECA 380 and 482 at a fee range of $10 to $18.

The Mechanical Engineering course fees will cover costs that include printer paper, ink, toner cartridges, and software site licenses. The Mechatronic Engineering course fees will cover costs that include software site licenses and materials and supplies, such as aluminum, gages, thermocouples, sensors, and wiring supplies. 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.
