Every May, the Senate allocates funding to groups who have gone through the application, or re-application, process based on various criteria. Applications are generally made available in February and must be submitted to the Office of Student Affairs in early March. In addition to budgeting, the Senate also allocates money from its Contingency Fund throughout the year to groups who may have missed the budget deadline or need additional funding. Contingency funding should be requested in the form of a bill, usually authored and sponsored by an ASUC senator. The ASUC often sponsors or puts on events that cater to student groups.
Senators are very generous in sponsoring and assisting with such events.
Every student group is encouraged to make use of this bucolic cabin in Tahoe for retreats and other functions. The Senate Chambers and seventh floor in Eshleman are usually available for group meetings or events. Reservations can be made with the ASUC Office Manager on the second floor of Eshleman.
