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 in the winter quarter 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. That information will be published elsewhere as soon as it becomes available.
