In cases of instruction provided by Southeastern Community College to individuals belonging to outside agencies, as permitted by the state board of community colleges, tuition and fees will be set by the agreements with those agencies based upon the student’s access to campus, technology, and activities. When instruction is provided to students of other institutions using Southeastern Community College resources, a campus-use fee consisting of the technology, insurance, ID and CATS fees will be charged to those students, and they will be permitted to use campus facilities in the same manner as a Southeastern Community College student. These students may also choose to pay the activity fee to be allowed to participate in student activity funded events.
