A nonresident student is any person who has not been a bona fide resident of the state of California for more than one year immediately preceding enrollment. The law governing the CSU provides that a student body fee may be established by student referendum with the approval of two-thirds of those students voting. The Student Body Fee was established at California State University, Fresno by student referendum on May 12, 1959. The same fee can be abolished by a similar two-thirds approval of students voting on a referendum called for by a petition signed by 10 percent of the regularly enrolled students. The level of the fee is set by the chancellor.
