Overview

All budgets must be submitted on an annual basis. The College Association Board will review no budget unless the College Association Office first reviews it at least one week before the College Association meeting.

Note (USG and GSA) Clubs: Chartering Process is carried out by the respective student body.
At the conclusion of the student government club allocation process (Charter Process), clubs must submit a revised budget form to the College Association office to be placed on it's biweekly agenda for a review by the CA (Please see College Association - Meetings for current meeting dates).

Clubs that do not submit a revised budget will not be able to access funds nor make room reservations.
