Student Activity Fee

 

The Office of Student Life welcomes funding requests for the Student Activity Service Fee Committee. The Student Activity Service Fee Committee reviews requests for funding from students, student organizations, campus wide committees, and faculty/staff looking to develop an activity specifically for students.

These activities cannot solely be academic in nature or supplanting an existing budget. Some examples of activities are speakers, entertainers, plays, etc. These funds cannot be used to support non Student Life operational expenses, limited classroom based activity or any academic expenditure.

The committee is composed of nine members. Five students elected at large and four faculty staff appointed by President Ziegler. The committee meets monthly to review requests. Applications are due two weeks prior to the committee meeting. Meetings will not be held in December, January, June, July and August.

Student Activity funds are to be used as described in the Texas legislature.
Fee fund are not mandated to support student organizations and should not be considered as such.

§ 54.503. STUDENT SERVICES FEES. (a) For the purposes of this section:
(1) "Student services" means activities which are separate and apart from the regularly scheduled academic functions of the institution and directly involve or benefit students, including textbook rentals, recreational activities, health and hospital services, medical services, intramural and intercollegiate athletics, artists and lecture series, cultural entertainment series, debating and oratorical activities, student publications, student government, the student fee advisory committee, student transportation services other than services under Sections 54.504, 54.511, 54.512, and 54.513 of this code, and any other student activities and services specifically authorized and approved by the governing board of the institution of higher education. The term does not include services for which a fee is charged under another section of this code.

Some student organizations because of their nature and commitment to students and the college will receive funding if approved by the Student Activity Fee Committee. These groups generally have shown exceptional commitment to enhance the college experience or are representing the college in a competitive manner or presentating a workshop. Those organizations wishing to be considered for review should apply.

Starting in the Fall 2008, all applicants to the Student Activity Fee must have attended a fee training meeting within a year of the application.
