Organizations must not discriminate in their membership by race, ethnic origin, nationality, religious preference, age, disability or sexual preference. Funds may be spent for food only if food is an integral part of the event or activity. No funds will be allocated for capital improvements, one time purchase of equipment or durable goods. These requests should be submitted to the Student Services Fee Committee. No allocation will be greater than the student organization originally requested.
Money is allocated by program and administrative line items.
However, individual organizations have discretionary spending power within the line items with adherence to their total budget allocation. The committee will strive to spread their allocations among all of the University's schools and colleges. If applications are submitted more than one week after the established deadline they will not be accepted. A representative from each organization requesting funds from the Student Activity Budget Committee is required to attend a training session sponsored by the committee. This session will include instructions on how to complete the budget request forms, the committee's priorities for the coming year, instructions on how to prepare for presentation to the committee and the Budget Hearing and Appeals Schedule.
