Services and activities (S&A) fees fund nonacademic student activities, programs, and projects, such as student government, entertainment, student organizations, speakers, facilities, and recreation.? Governing boards at institutions of higher education may increase the S&A fees annually by amounts not to exceed four percent per year, judged reasonable and necessary by the S&A fee committee and the governing board.

?

The governing boards of the community and technical colleges may increase the S&A fees annually by a percentage not to exceed the annual percentage increase in student tuition fees for resident undergraduate students.? The percentage increase may not apply to that portion of the S&A fees previously committed to the repayment of bonded debt.? Those adjustments may exceed the fiscal growth factor.

?

Each institution has a S&A fee committee, and students have a majority of the voting membership on the committee.? Student groups and campus programs submit proposals to the S&A fee committee, which reviews the proposals and recommends how S&A fees should be allocated.? The S&A fee committee recommends a final budget to the institution's governing board, which is required to give priority consideration to the committee's recommendations.

The maximum annual S&A fees limit is increased from four to six percent.
