All students who register for a course on any campus, including those in distance and on-line courses are recognized as members of the student body of the campus offering their courses. As such, all students, including those in distance and on-line courses, universally contribute to creating and maintaining high quality, affordable co-curricular educational programs. They shall pay mandatory student fees for student publications, student government, technology, and campus communication/student broadcast fees at all campuses at which they are enrolled, regardless of whether the course is taught online, at a distance, or face to face. These fees support services that are accessible or provide direct benefits regardless of the student’s geographical location.
Students enrolled in classes on a campus will additionally be assessed the following campus-based mandatory student fees: student activity and program fees, campus center and student recreation fees, student health fees, and student transportation fees.
Because students in distance and online courses may be physically unable to take direct advantage of certain campus-based co-curricular programs and opportunities, they shall be exempt from paying certain mandatory student fees of their course-offering campus. Students who enroll in pure distance or online courses at a particular campus shall not be assessed the following campus-based mandatory student fees: student activity and program fees, campus center and student recreation fees, student health fees, and student transportation fees.
