Bureau of State Audit Report on California State University's Extended Education

To effectively monitor and ensure that the campuses set self-support fees in accordance with state law and fee policy, responsibilities for the campus chief financial officer and president regarding development and consideration of revenue and expenditure statements before making a determination on self-support extended education program fees were added. These requirements previously applied only to Category II and III fees, but have been expanded to Category V extended education fees. Consultation requirements between the president and extended education dean also were included. Additionally, annual reporting on Category V extended education fees was clarified. Reference documents supplemental to this update of CSU Student Fee Policy, including an index of fees, historical documents, and State Education Code information are available on at California State University Fee Policies and Process.
