Student Association (SA) Accounts

All registered student organizations are able to apply for funding annually from the Student Association (SA) to assist in defraying operational costs.  Operational costs are derived from items that are needed throughout the year for the group to exist, rather than costs for a specific event (ie: equipment, office supplies, banners, etc. instead of an individual speaker or meal). As funding from the SA is not automatically guaranteed, and operational costs are not the only costs organizations have, groups are encouraged to raise any additional monies they might need.

Student organizations can apply for funding from the SA once a year either in the fall semester (deadline: September 22, 2009 at 5pm) or the spring semester (deadline: end of January).  Money from an SA account must be used up before the middle of April each year and does not roll over to the next year.

New and returning student groups should read the "2009-2010 Student Association Financial Process Manual" which details important dates, changes in financial policy, and information on general allocations (how to apply for initial funding), co-sponsorships, and reimbursement.

The packet also covers the procedure for mid-year allocations and end-of-the-year reclamations.  Failure to submit paperwork for the mid year process could result in deduction of available funds for the remainder of the year. The agreement included at the end of the packet must be completed by your student organization and submitted through the online student org registration process. It is recommended that organizations fill out the form ahead of time electronically so that it can be uploaded when prompted in the registration process.

The packet can be found at the Student Association Finance Committee's website.
