PURPOSE:

To provide annual student input and guidance regarding the use of revenue increases collected from Northern Arizona University’s student activity fee.

The activity fee is defined as the fee approved by the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) which is collected to support activities such as campus recreation, intramurals, campus union operations including speakers, entertainers, concerts and special events, and other activities which directly benefit and involve students.  The activity fee shall not be used for educational costs directly related to instruction and instructional support services.

The purpose of the activity fee is to support university activities that enliven and enrich the campus.  Such activities include concerts, speakers, Family Weekend, Homecoming, recreation, and entertainers.

PROCEDURE:

1.             Following Arizona Board of Regents approval of an activity fee, a student activity fee advisory committee was established by the university president.  Student appointments are based upon an annual application and selection process.

2.            Accordingly, the "Student Activity Fee Advisory Committee" will include one student  organization representative selected from each of the following student organizational categories:

Academic and Service Honorary

Advocacy and Cultural

ASNAU

Club Sports

Greek Organizations

Recreation

Religious and Special Interest

Residence Halls

At Large (not a representative of any student organization)

3.            The university president will appoint administrative, faculty, and staff representatives and ex-officio members to the committee as appropriate.

4.            The "Student Activity Fee Advisory Committee" will review needs assessments, student surveys and budgets to provide input, advice and recommendations regarding the use of projected revenue increases collected from the student activity fee for the following academic year.

5.            The committee will forward a summary of its discussion and recommendations for use of the additional fee revenues for the following academic year to the president of the university prior to the completion of the current academic year.

6.            The recommendations which are accepted by the president will be funded through the distribution of the fee revenues to those units responsible for overseeing implementation of fee-supported activities for the academic year in which they are collected.
