POLICY:

Upon approval of Student Services for an event to take place, it is the policy of the College to disburse funds to student organizations sponsoring College related events based upon monies collected by the student organization and amounts budgeted to the organization.

PURPOSE:

To provide a form for approval of disbursement of funds to student organizations sponsoring College related events, which have been approved by  Student Services to take place.

PROCEDURE:

When a student organization has had approval to hold an event at the College, the organization representative should complete a Request for Disbursement of Organization Funds to pay the vendor for the event. This form is obtained at the Campus Center Desk.

A copy of the Request form is attached and should be completed as follows:

  1. Indicate how payment is to be made.
    • Cash Advances (amounts under $50) are immediate.
    • Only one cash advance per event is allowed.

    • The Organization Officer Signature must be a person other than the one receiving reimbursement, ie an Organization Officer cannot sign for his/her own reimbursement.
  5. Approval signature of advisor.
