Effective July 6, 2010, Humboldt State University is authorized to establish a Category II, Materials Services and Facilities fee at the rate of $144 per semester for students taking more than 6 units, and $72 per semester for students taking 6 units or fewer per semester. This fee will replace all Category III miscellaneous course fees, with the exception of course fees for field trips or travel over $50. Revenue from this fee will be used in the same manner as, and with the same restrictions as, revenue collected from miscellaneous course fees, as outlined in Executive Order 1034, Attachment 3. Additional revenue collected will be distributed to the provosts office to be allocated for academic support priorities. Revenue cannot be used for salaries, benefits, travel, hardware or software for faculty, or for capital improvement projects.

The fee cannot automatically escalate without verified cost increases. Additions to the expenditure plan approved for this fee, which require a rate increase that is more than annual CPI must go through the processes described in EO 1034.
In accordance with Section 89721(l) of the Education Code, revenue collected from student fees shall be deposited in a local trust account, and reported in FIRMS Object Code 501111.
