8.1 Definitions

  1. "Mandatory student fee" is an obligation imposed upon a student of the University by Regent and University action.

    The two kinds of fees defined above shall be independent of each other in every way. The collection and disbursement of one kind shall not necessarily imply the collection and disbursement of the other kind, and, where they are both collected and disbursed, they shall not be commingled.
