N.D. Cent. Code § 15-10.3-03: Mandatory fees - Limitation on increases - Exemption

1.The total amount of mandatory fees, other than program-specific fees, which an institution under the control of the state board of higher education assesses each full-time and part-time student, may not increase from one academic year to the ensuing academic year by more than one percent of the latest available average full-time, resident, on-campus, undergraduate tuition rate at that institution, unless the state board determines that an exemption from the requirements of this section is necessitated as a result of student demand, as evidenced by a campuswide student election or formal action by an institution's student governing board or committee.

2.a.Before mandatory fees on students may be increased to support the construction or renovation of a campus building valued at more than one million dollars, the use must be approved by a majority of the students voting on the question at a campuswide election.

b.This subsection does not apply to any construction or renovation for which the use of mandatory fees was authorized before July 1, 2013.
