2013-2014 Budget Allocations
Student Club Budget Allocations will occur once for the entire academic year. Student club representatives should determine the potential events and activities they would like to hold for the year and estimate the amount of money they wish to request to support these ideas. Clubs are not required to participate in the Student Club Budget Allocation Process. If you are interested in participating in this process, please review the following guidelines.
Budget Allocation Due Date: Thursday, October 3, 2013 by 5:00 p.m.
Budget Request Process
- Have at least one representative attend a Budget Allocation Prep Session. At this meeting, each club will receive the Budget Allocation Application packet and will receive a detailed overview of the process. Attendance is mandatory to participate in the Budget Allocation Process.
- Determine how much money your club would like to request to operate for the year (fall, winter and spring quarters).
- Complete the Budget Allocation Application and attach all supporting documents. Submit this packet to the office of student involvement by Thursday, October 3 by 5:00pm. No packets will be accepted after this date and time.

The proposal should be stapled with the club’s name clearly labeled on the front. Please do not include a binder or presentation cover with your packet.
