Student activity fees go into the student activities budget, which is handled by the Business Office under the ultimate authority of the vice president for business and finance. Expenditures are supervised by the vice president for student success and enrollment services. The committee meets during spring semester to plan the next fiscal year's budget. During the year, it considers deviations from the budget that occur as a result of changes in the university's financial situation or as a result of changes in situations affecting organizations or programs funded by student fees. It solicits budget requests from funded organizations and holds hearings to consider whether each organization should be given the amount requested.
Hearings are open to the public.
Students are welcome to attend and to make their opinions known about how these funds are to be used. Offerings include reentry workshops and programs related to integration of the student role with life and work responsibilities. The office provides resource materials, consultant services and networking opportunities for KSU faculty and staff interested in adult learner involvement. The office is administered by the Coordinator of Adult Learner Programs. A primary area of service to adult learners is the Lifelong Learning Center.
