IV. Departmental Liaison Reports
V. Committee Reports
o Financial Committee with Clay Christian
If You Are Starting A New
Student Organization:
1. Get approved by Student Life (see Tonya Hale)
2. Get an account for your organization with the Business
office
You:
I need to set up an account for a new student organization
Awesome Business
Office Person: Here is your paperwork!
Note: This requires a lot of
signatures. Tell the business
office that I need to be emailed (christiancmhendrix.edu) when the account is
set up.
3. Apply for discretionary money on an event-by-event basis.
If you did not participate in Spring Allocation, you do not get to be
funded in one lump sum.
If You Did Not Participate in
Spring Allocation or Were Not Given Funds During Spring Allocation:
1. You can apply for discretionary money on an event-by-event basis.
If you did not participate in spring allocation, you do not get to be
funded in one lump sum.
If You Need to Know How Much
Money You Have:
1. Go to the business office.
2. Ask for the ledger report of your student organization. Know
your account number! The
business office is staffed by awesome people, but they really do not have time
to look up every number for every organization that needs a report.
If You Need Me or Want To Ask A
Question About Your Finances:
Do not email me with a vague
statement/question about your funds.
Chances are, whatever is going on is complicated and difficult to
communicate via email. Instead,
set up a meeting with me. You can
email me, call (901-603-9390), or even drop by Front Street 29 if it is at a
reasonable time during the week.
All discretionary funding
proposals/requests must be submitted to Clay BY 5PM FRIDAYS to be considered
during the that week’s FinCom meeting
Attendance at these meetings are
not mandatory for those sending proposals, but may help, ask Clay!
