(6) A student who is receiving Federal financial assistance under title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 and who attends a State-operated campus of the State University for the first time shall receive a pro rata refund of tuition and fees, provided that the student's date of withdrawal from the campus is on or before the 60 percent point in time in the enrollment period for which the student has been charged.

For any semester after January 1962 a full-time student who was a resident of New York State and entitled to a student incentive grant during such semester shall be charged $112.50 a semester. Such tuition shall be paid before the student is awarded his degree unless arrangements satisfactory to the chief administrative officer of the college have been made for payment of the tuition after graduation by the student.

§ 302.14 Student activity fees.
(a) Referendum. Prior to the close of the academic year 2004-2005 and every two years thereafter, the student body (or such components thereof as may be designated by the chief administrative officer, or designee) at each State-operated campus shall determine by referendum whether student activity programs shall be supported by either voluntary or mandatory student fees. Such referendum shall be held on the same day as the annual elections for officers of the representative student organization or organizations (hereinafter referred to as "student govern­ment"). The determination resulting from each referendum shall remain in force for a period of two academic years, except that at any time and from time to time within such two-year period a subsequent referendum held in accordance with the constitution and by-laws of the student government may effect a change in this determination with respect to the following academic year.
(b) Voluntary fees. Where students at a State-operated campus have determined to make the payment of student activity fees voluntary, the student government shall be responsible for the collection, appropriation and disbursement of such fees, subject to the permitted uses authorized in paragraph (c)(3) of the Board of Trustees' Policy., With the approval of the chief administrative officer, or designee, personnel or facilities of the campus, or both, may be used in connection with the collection of such fees on behalf of the student government provided that the collection of voluntary student activity fees is clearly distinguished from the collection of required university fees.
(1) Preparation and certification of the budget.
(i)The student government shall pre­pare and approve a budget governing expenditures from student activity fees in accordance with the constitution and by-laws of the student, government, and consistent with the principles of equal opportunity and viewpoint neutrality, prior to registration for each academic year. The constitution and by-laws of such student government shall specify the criteria governing eligibility for funding of and allocations to student organizations from student activity fees. The student government may provide for use of advisory referenda of the student body with respect to particular funding decisions but may not agree to be bound by such referenda. Allocations included in the budget shall fall within programs defined in paragraph (3) of this subdivision. The approved budget shall thereafter be presented to the chief administrative officer prior to the registration for each academic year for the view and certification that the allocations (from the fee and any proposed sources of revenue are in compliance with the provisions of paragraph (3) of this subdivision upon determination by the chief administrative officer, or designee, that the approved budget is in compliance with these regulations, he or she shall so certify, and such certification shall authorize the collection of the fee at registration.
(ii) Appeals. In the event that the chief administrative officer, or designee, concludes that a particular proposed allocation included in the budget may not be in compliance with the provisions of this Part, he or she shall refer such proposed allocation to a campus review board composed of eight members of whom four shall be appointed by the student govern­ment and four appointed by the chief administrative officer, or designee. The campus review board shall study the proposed allocation and make a recommendation to support or not to support it. The chief administrative officer, or designee, shall thereafter make the final decision. Any proposed allocation which is determined not to be in compliance with the provisions of these regulations shall be excluded from the budget.
(2) Collection at registration. The total amount of the fee for one academic year, as fixed and assessed by the student government, shall not exceed an amount to be determined by the chancellor in consultation with the student assembly. Upon registration, every student shall be required to pay one half of the total fee, or proportionate part thereof, if registered for less than full-time, each term for which he or she registers. Failure to pay the required fee may result in denial of registration. The fiscal officer of each State-operated campus shall collect the prescribed fee at the time of registration and shall pay over the amounts so collected to an independent fiscal agent designated by the student government and approved by the chief administrative officer, or designee. If there is reasonable evidence in an individual' case, as determined by the chief administrative officer, or designee, that payment of the fee may cause undue hardship, such student may nevertheless be allowed to register and the obligation to pay such fee shall thereafter be subject to administrative review and action by the chief administra­tive officer, or designee, after consultation with the student government. In a case in which a student has been allowed to register without payment of the student activity fee, the chief administrative officer may withhold grades or transcripts of credits until payment has been waived by such administrative action or the obligation has been met. In addition, the student government may determine to deny participation in student activities in the case of any student who has not fulfilled his or her obligation with respect to payment of the mandatory student activity fee. Student imposed fees in excess of the mandated fee shall be considered voluntary within the provisions of subdivision (b) of this section. Policies governing refunds to students who cancel their registration or withdraw from the university shall be established by the student government. For those periods outside the academic year (i.e., summer session) a mandatory fee also may be collected, provided the amount of the fee is consistent with the level of programming provided during that period and is used in accordance with the Board of Trust­ees' Policy. The amount of this fee shall be determined by the student government in consulta­tion with the chief administrative officer of the campus, or designee, and shall not be included within the cap applicable to the amount charged for the academic year.
(4) Disbursement of funds. Proceeds of the student activity fee shall be disbursed by the student government, through the designated independent fiscal agent, provided that the pro­posed fiscal commitment for each expenditure shall have been approved by the chief adminis­trative officer or designee. In the event that the chief administrative officer, or designee, concludes that a particular proposed fiscal commitment may not be in compliance with an approved budgetary allocation and the provisions of this section, he or she shall refer such proposed fiscal commitment to the campus review board for review and recommendation. Final determination for approval of the compliance with this section of any proposed fiscal commitment shall rest with the chief administrative officer or designee. Fiscal and accounting procedures prescribed by the chancellor, or designee, shall be adopted and observed by the student government. These procedures shall include, among other things, provisions for an annual independent audit including the communication to student government management by the independent auditor of any internal control matter(s) noted during the conduct of the audit; and for public dissemination of information regarding the budgeting process including a list of funded activities, current allocations and expenditures.
(5) Changes to approved budget. Changes to the approved budget after certification, either prior to or subsequent to the collection of mandatory fees, shall be subject to administrative review and certification by the chief administrative officer, or designee, in the same manner as was applicable to the original budget.
(d) Use of college facilities. The provisions of this section shall not be interpreted to authorize the use of college facilities for student activities and programs without appropriate administrative approval. Appropriate payments shall be made by student organizations for the use of college facilities where there are extraordinary costs to the college associated with such events.
§ 302.15 Waiver of application fee and tuition for students enrolled in certain programs.
(a) The application fee and tuition may be waived by the chancellor, or his designee, for students enrolled in State University educational opportunity programs, or similar programs as certified by the chancellor or his designee.

(c) The application fee and tuition may be waived for students in State University programs sponsored and funded by ACTION, an agency of the Federal government, or for students engaged in similar programs as certified by the chancellor, or his designee, effective with respect to the 1077-78 academic year and thereafter.
§302.16 Deferral of payment of tuition and fees and other charges by veterans.
[Additional statutory authority: L. 1973, ch. 749] Upon request by a student who is an eligible veteran, the payment of tuition and other fees and charges, less the amounts payable for such purposes from scholarships or other financial assistance awarded said veteran pursuant to article 13 or 130 of the Education Law or any other State or Federal aid program, shall be deferred in such amounts and until such times as the several payments of veterans benefits under the Veterans' Readjustment Benefit Act of 1966, as amended, are received by the veteran, provided that the veteran has filed a claim for such benefits and presents to the State University proof of eligibility, extent of entitlement to benefits and the need for deferral until the receipt of such benefits. The chancellor or his designee may promulgate such additional regulations and proceed­ings, not inconsistent herewith, as may be required to facilitate implementation of this section.
§ 302.17 Basic educational opportunity grants (BEOG)*.

Evidence that such student has completed a BEOG application shall be on file at the appropriate State-operated institution or community college no later than 45 days from the commencement of the academic year.
(b) The chancellor, or his designee, may develop and issue appropriate guidelines and procedures for the implementation of this section, including, but not limited to, procedures for waiver of the filing requirement if hardship for a student would result.
*Note: Program name changes will be updated in the future with other modifications to this section of the Policy Manual. References to "basic educational opportunity grant" and "BEOG" will change to Pell Grants and "State University supplemental tuition awards" will change to State University Student Assistance to reflect current practice and guidelines.
