15-10.3-03. Mandatory fees - Limitation on increases - Exemption 1. The total amount of mandatory fees, other than program-specific fees, which an institution under the control of the state board of higher education assesses each full-time and part-time student, may not increase from one academic year to the ensuing academic year by more than one percent of the latest available average full-time, resident, on-campus, undergraduate tuition rate at that institution, unless the state board determines that an exemption from the requirements of this section is necessitated as a result of student demand, as evidenced by a campuswide student election or formal action by an institution's student governing board or committee. 2. a. Before mandatory fees on students may be increased to support the construction or renovation of a campus building valued at more than one million dollars, the use must be approved by a majority of the students voting on the question at a campuswide election. b. This subsection does not apply to any construction or renovation for which the use of mandatory fees was authorized before July 1, 2013.
