| Name of Department Requesting the Fee | |
| Semester and Year Fee is to go into Effect |
Course fees are to be used for expenses connected with a course that go beyond the normal expectation of university support and are approved for a three year period. If a change in an already approved fee is desired within the three year period, it requires submission of a new application. Course fees must be used to provide benefits for the students enrolled in the course for which fees are charged. Course fees should not be used to replace funds which are a normal part of departmental budgets. Expendable funds are for consumable items and instructional services and are to be spent annually with an annual fund balance of less than 20%. Non-expendable funds can accrue for a period of more than two semesters and are for things such as equipment replacement and maintenance.
