Subject:Health Services Fee (581-281) and Dormitory Revenue Fund
- Auxiliary Facilities (580-263)
The purpose of this memorandum is to
notify campuses of the changes in accounting for the following funds:
- Health Services Fees (581-281)
- Dormitory Revenue Fund - Auxiliary Facilities (580-263)
1) The legislation that allowed Health Services Fees collected in the 1993/94
and 1994/95 fiscal years to be deposited in the California State University
Facilities Revenue Fund (581-281) will sunset on JuneÊ30,Ê1995. Health
Services Fees collected for fiscal years beginning in 1995/96 will have to be
remitted to the Higher Education Fees and Income (498) and General
Fund (001). Please refer to Attachment A for details.
2) The Dormitory Revenue Fund - Auxiliary Facilities (580-263) was
established to facilitate the issuance of bonds or notes for the acquisition,
construction, and improvement of student health centers. In
January,Ê1994, the bonds for the student health centers were retired. As a
result, the CSU is required, by Education Code 89702, to deposit all
revenue not in connection with bonds or notes into the California State
University Facilities Revenue Fund (581). In addition to directing the
Health Facilities Fees to a different fund, this change will initiate cross
posting of these fees to the campuses for expenditure. Please refer to
Attachment A and B for details.
Questions should be directed to Mr. Keith Clinkscales, Accounting at
(310)Ê951-4610.

Accounting & Budgeting Procedures
1) Health Services Fee (581-281)
Senate Bill 593 (Education Code Section 89702.1) established the authority to
deposit and spend Health Services Fees in the California State University
Facilities Revenue Fund (581-281) during 1993/94 and 1994/95 fiscal years.
Memorandum BA 93-12, dated November 8, 1993, instructed the campuses to
choose to account for the health services fee in either (1) Higher Education
Fees and Income (498); and General Fund (001); or (2) California State
University Facilities Revenue Fund - Health Services Fee (581-281). Option 2
is not available after June 30, 1995.
The campuses will be allowed to spend any balance that remains in the CSU
Facilities Revenue Fund-Health Services Fee (581-281) after fiscal year
1994/95. Pursuant to Trustees policy, the remaining fund balance from
Health Services Fees in this fund shall be used only to support student health
services operations.
Effective with Health Services Fees collected for fiscal years beginning in
1995/96, campuses will have to account for the Health Services Fees in Higher
Education Fees and Income (498) and the General Fund (001). The existing
accounting and budgeting procedures should be followed.
2) Dormitory Revenue Fund - Auxiliary Facilities (580-263)
Historically, Health Facilities Fees have been remitted to the Dormitory
Revenue Fund-Auxiliary Facilities Fund (580-263) to meet the covenants of
the bond resolutions. In January, 1994, all bonds for this program were
retired. As a result of the retirement of the bonds, the CSU is now required to
deposit all revenue into the California State University Facilities Revenue
Fund (581).
Effective with Health Facilities Fees collected for fiscal years beginning
1995/96, campuses will account for revenues and expenditures related to this
program in the CSU Facilities Revenue Fund-Health Facilities Fee (581-282).
Effective with this change in the remittance process, the fees remitted will be
automatically cross-posted by the State Controller's Office and available for
expenditure by the campus. The Health Facilities Fee has different
restrictions than the Health Services Fee. The Health Facilities Fee is
restricted by law for the acquisition, construction, and maintenance of student
health centers (Education Code Section 89702). Please see Attachment B for
accounting and budgeting procedures for the CSU Facilities Revenue Fund-
Health Facilities Fee (581-282).
