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 March 13, 2006, California State University, Chico
is authorized to establish Category III, Miscellaneous Course Fees
for Applied Computer Graphics Section APCG 112 at a fee rate of $25,
Art Section ARTS 660 at a fee rate of $35, Civil Engineering Sections
CIVIL 110, 130 and 131 at fee rates of $10 per section, and Environmental
Literacy Section ENVL 105 at a fee rate of $2,385. The Applied Computer
Graphics fee will cover the costs of printing supplies, mounting
supplies, blank CDs and DVDs, and help to purchase software and
upgrades. The Arts course fee will supply clay and glaze materials
as well as other art materials required for a graduate level ceramics
course. The Civil Engineering course fees will help offset the costs
of software licenses for AutoCAD, the software needed in this field.
The Environmental Literacy course fee will cover the costs of a field
trip to Costa Rica including airfare, buses, insurance and room and board.
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. |
