Definition
The SGA activity fee is a non-refundable fee to fund a variety of student activities on and off campus.
Establishment
The amount of the SGA activity fee shall be established by a vote of the student body and approved by the Administration of the College and the Tennessee Board of Regents. Any increase in the Fee shall be decided pursuant to T.C.A. 49-8-110 by a vote of the student body before any administrative approvals shall be granted.
Assessment
The SGA activity fee shall be collected from each enrolled full-time or part-time student, excluding dual-enrolled students, taking credit courses on or off campus each academic term. The fee shall be collected in addition to the maintenance fee, out-of-state tuition, access fee, student activity fee, and/or any other incidental fees related to the enrollment of a student.
Authority
Ultimate authority for the collection and disbursement of SGA activity fees rests with the President of the College. Recommendations for student projects and student activities shall be submitted through the Student Government Association Executive Board. The SGA Executive Board works collaboratively with the Office of Student Engagement and Support to administer funds. Denial of funding from collected SGA activity fees for a recommended student project or program may be appealed to the President.
Restrictions
These fees are restricted to current funds additions. No portion of collected SGA activity fees shall be used to finance instructional activities, sectarian religious activities, charitable causes, partisan political activities, or salaries.
