Description of Mandatory Fees

This does not include ordinary or operational expenses of denominational or sectarian religious activities, partisan political activities, social fraternities and sororities, nor charitable causes or contributions. Student activity fees cannot be used for the direct benefit of faculty, staff or community members or for fundraisers, benefits or registered student organization members-only field trips or events.
