(3)Special student.

(i) A special student at a college operating on a semester basis is any person registered for fewer than 12 semester hours of work.

(ii) A student attending a summer session, which is not a regular semester, is a special student for the purpose of this definition.

(5)Residence. A person whose domicile has been in the State of New York for a period of at least one year immediately preceding the time of registration for any period of attendance shall be a New York resident for the purpose of determining the tuition rate payable for such period. All other persons shall be presumed to be out-of-state residents for such purpose, unless domiciliary status is demonstrated in accordance with guidelines adopted by the Chancellor or designee.

(c)Intercollegiate athletics fee.

The chancellor, or designee, is authorized to approve the request of the chief administrative officer at a State-operated campus to establish a campus intercollegiate athletics fee and, thereafter, any increases to such fee. When approved, the fee shall be mandatory for all undergraduate students, and, if so provided for in the request, for all graduate students enrolled at that campus. A pro rata portion shall be paid by part-time students. The fee proceeds shall be deposited in an appropriate State University account, or may be paid to authorized campus foundation or auxiliary service corporation accounts for the purpose of operating the respective campus's division 1 intercollegiate athletics program or operating its intercollegiate athletics program during the transition period leading to division 1, in accordance with a contract subject to the approval of the Office of the State Comptroller, and shall be administered in accordance with State University policy. Any request to establish a campus intercollegiate athletics fee shall demonstrate campus support pursuant to a written consultative process prepared by the chief administrative officer which shall include a student referendum. The chief administrative officer shall assure equitable athletic opportunities are available in the campus intercollegiate athletics program to all qualified individuals.

(d)Health services fee.

The chief administrative officer at each State-operated campus which operates student health services shall establish a health services fee with the approval of the Chancellor, or designee. The fee shall be established following approval by the Chancellor, or designee, of a three-year plan for funding student health services at each campus to be determined by campus location, enrollment and the level of health services required. When approved, the fee shall be assessed upon all students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs at the campus. A pro rata portion shall be paid by part-time students. In each plan the chief administrative officer shall identify categories of students who may be exempted from the fee if their courses of study do not permit access to the student health services available on campus. Any increases to the fee shall be approved by the Chancellor or designee.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in this section to the contrary, members of the Armed Forces of the United States on full-time active duty and stationed in New York State and their spouses and dependents, whether or not residents of New York State as defined in paragraph (a)(5) of this section, shall be charged tuition at the applicable resident student rate as set forth in this section.

(f)Time and method of payment; additional guidelines.

The Chancellor, or designee, shall issue policy and guidelines concerning the time and method of payment of all fees included in this section, and shall issue such other guidelines as shall be necessary to implement the definitions, regulations and schedule of rates adopted herewith. The Chancellor, or designee, shall review and make changes where necessary, such policy and guidelines on a biennial basis.
