9.21. Student Development Complex Support Fee

The Administration is authorized to assess a Student Development Complex Support fee of $31.00 per semester for each enrolled student. This fee is earmarked for support of the operational cost of the Student Development Complex (SDC) and is intended to guarantee students priority service in that facility to include, but not limited to:

• The reworking of the space reservation policy for the SDC to establish an open reservation period beginning the 14th week of the spring semester. During this period, all groups (registered student groups, campus groups and community programs and groups) would be able to reserve space in the SDC for the upcoming May 1st through May 31st of the following year. These reservations would be processed on a first come first served basis and would be binding; thus leveling the reservation playing field.
• Registered student groups will be allowed to use the facility up to two hours after the closing time without incurring any charges.
• Registered student groups will not be charged for fund raising events that occur in the SDC.
• Registered student groups will not be charged any fees for use of the facility if the event falls within the normal hours of operation (including the aforementioned two hours after closing) with the exception of possible charges for lifeguards for private, non-regular pool use, or other non-regular facility use.
• The SDC in conjunction with their advisory board and Auxiliary Services will coordinate additional services.

This fee is intended to substantively improve the Student Development Complex and the services provided to students. It is not intended to replace or subsidize current General Fund support. Excess revenue generated by this fee will be committed to improvements in this building and the services offered.

A limited number of exceptions in assessing the fee may be made for university employees and/or students not on the main campus.
