Appropriate facility use charges shall be made for the use of campus facilities by state, non-state/auxiliary, and external organizations. These charges are designed to ensure that the campus consistently recovers their costs related to providing this use and related services pursuant to California State University (CSU) Executive Order No. 1000 (EO1000). Depending on the entity, these charges may include a facility rental fee and personnel support charges as deemed appropriate by CSU policy. Additional personnel charges required by campus policy or the event requestor will be billed in addition to these rates. CSU policy requires payment for such services or some other form of reciprocal compensation or benefit equal to or greater than the cost of said University services as documented and approved by the University Cabinet and/or pursuant to a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
