All requests for funding by the SGA must be submitted in the form of a proposed budget to the SGA treasurer, whose office is in the Hartness Student Center. Proposals are considered by the SGA Finance Committee and submitted to the SGA Senate in early fall. Once the organization has been approved for funding from the SGA, specific procedures must be followed for spending the money. These procedures are available in the SGA office. Each president, treasurer, and advisor should obtain a copy of these procedures at the beginning of each academic year to better serve their organization.
Some organizations require members to pay yearly or semesterly dues in support of the group.
Other organizations require specific fees, such as an initiation fee. If such fees or dues are assessed, the requirement must be included in the constitution, either as a by-law or an amendment. It is the responsibility of the organization to collect these dues. Fundraisers on Campus Only recognized student organizations are allowed to conduct fundraisers on campus with the written permission of the Associate Dean of Student Life. These fundraisers may be in the form of selling items on campus or soliciting funds.
