Procedure

Deposit of Self-Supporting Fees

The College shall deposit self-supporting fee receipts in an institutional unrestricted general ledger account.  Any course section initially designated as self-supporting cannot be changed to a State-funded designation after the College collects any receipts for the course section.

Use of Self-Supporting Fee Receipts

Self-supporting fee receipts shall be used to support the direct and indirect costs of the self-supporting course sections.  The College shall not use state funds for direct costs of self-supporting course sections.  If a full-time curriculum instructor teaches a self-supporting course section, the College shall either: 1) pro-rate the instructor’s salary based on the time allocated between state-funded and self-supporting course sections in the instructor’s course load; or 2) reimburse State funds an amount equal to the number of instructional hours associated with self-supporting course section multiplied by the instructor’s hourly rate of pay.

Excess Receipts

Specific fee receipts shall be used for the purpose for which they are charged.  If self-supporting receipts exceed expenditures for the purpose for which they are charged, the College shall use excess receipts to support the costs of future self-supporting course sections, instruction, student support services, student financial aid (e.g. scholarships, grants, and loans), student refunds, student activities, curriculum development, professional development, promotional giveaway items, instructional equipment, and capital improvements and acquisition of real property.

Excess receipts shall not be used for any of the following purposes: supplemental compensation or benefits of any personnel, administrative costs, entertainment expenses, and fundraising expenses.
