Student Fee Advisory Committee
The Student Fee Advisory Committee (SFAC) is a shared governance body composed of students, faculty, and staff that reviews all Category II and III fees. The committee evaluates fee proposals and annual reviews to provide recommendations to the president on proposed fee actions. SFAC typically conducts its work during the academic year, from August through May. If you are interested in serving on the committee, please email Jeanne Brewster who can advise you on possible options.
The CSU Policy 14548905 (formerly known as Executive Order 1102) defines the methods for establishing or adjusting campus student fees; including the establishment of a Student Fee Advisory Committee.

Proposals are initiated by the campus department and must be signed, complete with narrative, and include two years estimated revenue and expenses, submitted to Financial Services prior to the deadline. Proposals can be emailed to brewster@csus.edu, or delivered to Sacramento Hall, Room 259 or MS 6040. Adobe Sign is accepted.
