The Colorado State University Special Course Fee (SCF) Manual  sets forth the rules and procedures for establishing special course fees to be assessed to students pursuant to the authority granted in C.R.S. § 23-5-119.5(3)(b) and Colorado Commission on Higher Education Policy Section VI, Part C, 3.00.

Ultimate authority to recommend Special Course Fees to the Board of Governors rests with the President.

Special course fees are those mandatory fees that a student is assessed when enrolling in specific courses which have cost-intensive components which cannot be provided through tuition. For example, these fees may be assessed for required equipment rental, animal maintenance, travel for field trips, required "special" expendable materials, etc. Special course fee revenues must be used for costs directly related to the classes for which they are charged.
