These Regulations set forth rules and requirements governing the collection, budgeting and disbursement of the College Fee. As provided under Board Policy III.08, funds generated by the College Fee and other designated resources will be utilized to support student activities and programming in the areas of clubs and organizations; cultural and personal development activities; publications and media; personal physical fitness and intramurals; and intercollegiate athletics. G ENERAL B UDGET P ROCESS Each College campus (Allegheny, Boyce, North & South) will prepare a preliminary budget for student development programs in each of the five (5) areas designated in Board Policy III.08. In building these preliminary budgets, revenues from the College Fee and bookstore net revenues/commissions will be conservatively estimated based upon historical figures and projected enrollment for the next fiscal year. The Regional Campus President, in conjunction with the Dean of Students for Student Engagement and the regional Directors of Student Engagement, shall be responsible for preparing a student development budget. As part of the budget development process, each region shall establish a Student Development Budget Review Committee, which will be charged with the responsibility to review the preliminary student development budget and recommend proposed budget expenditures. The Student Development Budget Review Committee will consist of a minimum of five (5) members, the majority of which must be students currently enrolled at campuses in the applicable region. R ESTRICTED E XPENDITURES Proposed expenditures of student development funds are limited to items that directly benefit students. Accordingly, any unusual expenditures from the permanent fund require agreement and approval by the Student Development Budget Review Committee, the Regional Director of Student Engagement, the Dean of Students for Student Engagement and the Regional Campus President. Use of student development funds to subsidize one or more full or part-time positions that support student activities requires approval of the Regional Campus President and the appropriate Executive Director of Business & Administration. Student development funds may not be utilized to pay students or to fund positions that are intended to be filled by students. Student development funds may not be utilized for capital projects or other operating expenses that are budgeted and paid from the general operating budget.
