Where does the $2 go? What is the fee used for?
Each fee collected is divided between the Associated Student Government (ASG) of Âé¶¹Ó°Òôapp and the recognized statewide community college student organization, Student Senate of the California Community Colleges (SSCCC). One dollar ($1) of every two-dollar ($2) fee collected shall be expended to establish and support the operations of a statewide community college student organization, recognized by the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, with effective student representation and participation in state-level community college shared governance and with governmental affairs representatives to advocate before the Legislature and other state and local governmental entities.
One dollar ($1) of every two-dollar fee collected will be expended solely through the Associated Student Government of Âé¶¹Ó°Òôapp to provide support for governmental affairs representatives of local or statewide student body organizations who may be stating their positions and viewpoints before city, county, state and/or federal government. Essentially, the funds could be used by ASG in order to provide necessary training and access to opportunities to represent Âé¶¹Ó°Òôapp students, including but not limited to:
- Attending legislative activities like the SSCCC General Assembly
- Visiting the offices of local and state elected officials
- Training ASG representatives to effectively participate in these processes
This fee is separate from the current Student Activities Fee, which supports services and provides benefits to Âé¶¹Ó°Òôapp students, such as free or discounted admission to ASG-sponsored events, access exclusive ASG promotional items, and free entry to all Tartar Athletic home events.
