Non-Course Fee Authorization Form Instructions
Please note that this form is to be used for non-course fees only. Any course related university fee will not be requested using this form. Academic colleges requesting a special course fee, please use the “Course Fee Authorization Form”. When requesting a fee that is not associated with a course, please follow the instructions below.
Step 1
Complete the non-course fee authorization web form in its entirety. Please complete a new form for each fee requesting. Be sure to list the department proposed GL to be used for this fee. Financial Planning & Budgets (FPB) will obtain approval of this GL from the Accounting Services department. If the GL is not approved, FPB will contact the originating department with a corrected GL as proposed by Accounting Services.
Step 2
Approval of the Department Director, Unit Director, and Dean (if applicable) is required when submitting this form. Attach documentation of this approval as well as any additional supporting documentation to the web form prior to submitting. It is required that all supporting documents be in PDF format.
Step 3
When the web form is complete and all supporting documentation has been attached, click submit. The form will be electronically routed to FPB for processing.
Step 4
FPB will review your request and obtain final signatures from the Vice President (or designee) and the President.
Step 5
Once FPB has obtained final signatures of approval, FPB will notify the originating department electronically and provide a signed electronic copy of the approval. FPB will then update the university fee database accordingly. If the fee request is declined by the Vice President or President, FPB will notify the originating department electronically and provide an electronic signed copy of the denial.
Step 6
FPB will electronically send a copy of the approved fee form to the requesting department, the College Budget Specialist, Global Campus, Registrars, and Student Account Services & University Billing (SASUB). The original electronic form will be retained by FPB.
