  2. Agenda • Student Fees for Online Proctoring • Distance Education Student Satisfaction Survey • Student Success Professional Development Committee Recommendations Feedback after February 1-27 • Online Teaching Conference 2013, June 19-21, Long Beach City College • DE Survey Addendum on MOOCs • Fund for Instructional Improvement Loan Request for Proposal Due Date • DEC 101 Course for CCC DE Coordinators • Governor’s Distance Education Proposal in the 2013-14 California State Budget • CCC Coordinators and Managers Organization • Distance education proposed legislation aimed at CSU • State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement

  3. Student Online Fees for Proctoring and Related DE Prohibited Fees • Student Fee Handbook • Prohibited Practices Section • 4.11. Fees for Distance Education (Internet Access) Page 39 • 4.15. Technology Fee Page 41 • 4.20. Test Proctoring Fees Page 43

  4. Student Online Fees for Proctoring and Related DE Prohibited Fees • 4.11. Fees for Distance Education (Internet Access). In Legal Opinion L 95-33 it was held that a district may not charge an additional mandatory fee for a credit course delivered via Internet where the additional fee is intended to cover the cost of Internet access. If instruction is offered as a community service class without credit, a district could charge students for the cost of Internet access necessary to participate in the class. Such a fee could also be charged for a credit course if the fee is truly optional (the student can participate effectively without paying the additional fee), but, there is no statutory authority for charging such a fee for a credit course if the fee is mandatory.

  5. Student Online Fees for Proctoring and Related DE Prohibited Fees • 4.15. Technology Fee. The Chancellor's Office has also considered the viability of a fee that gave students access to computer labs and computers, the Internet, and e-mail. About 98 percent of available computers were covered by the fee; the remaining 2 percent of the computers (approximately 30 out of 1500) were available without charge to any student. • It was concluded that the fee would be a permissible optional fee with respect to students who were not in courses where such technology was required. However, as noted in 4.9 above, even an optional fee would be prohibited if the district received state funds for this purpose. Costs associated with the purchase of the computers, maintenance of such computers or other related costs, may be recovered through an optional fee only to the extent that such state funds were not used to support those expenses. That is, a district may not use funds that are required or expressly authorized for a specific purpose and also charge students a fee to cover the same costs, even if the fee is optional.

  6. Student Online Fees for Proctoring and Related DE Prohibited Fees • 4.20. Test Proctoring Fees. There is no authority that permits a district to charge students a fee to cover the costs of having someone present while students are taking tests to ensure that the students do not cheat on the tests.
