The Appropriations Committee (SAAC) is responsible for managing the finances of the SA in a way that is both fiscally responsible and in the best interest of the student body. The SA budget is funded by the $258 Student Activities fee in undergraduate tuition. Each spring, the committee reviews budget requests and allocates funds to student groups for the upcoming year.
SAAC hears requests for supplemental funding every Tuesday at 8 p.m.
Business Managers can obtain their organization’s account balances by contacting their accountant via email or by attending regular office hours. For updated account balances, please check your monthly reports, found in your individual mailboxes. In addition, the “Ledger Form” is available under the sidebar Important Documents on the SAAC website, through which Business Managers can easily track their group’s finances independently.
