The Fall Appeals Process is started as soon as a complete committee of voting members has been appointed by the Student Senate. During this process, the following have an opportunity to submit a budget and receive an allocation:
-Chartered organizations whose budgets were tabled
-Organizations that were chartered after the Spring Process
-Organizations that did not submit a budget at all, submitted an incomplete and/or late budget
This process allows a grace for student organizations, but be warned that less money is set aside for the appeals process, so the chances of receiving a fuller allocation are lessened simply due to financial constrains.
Fall Process Outline
It is hard to say when the Fall Process will start since the SFC can not confirm when a full committee will be appointed, but usually the process runs over the course of one month and is over by early November. Please refer to the SFC Calendar for this year’s exact dates. The Fall Process is similar to the Spring Process. After the Fall Process has ended, the only opportunity for an organization to receive a fund allocation is through Ad-hoc.
After you have received your allocation…
As soon as you are aware of what your allocation is, you must come into the SFC office and have a copy of your marked up budget made. This marked up budget will not only tell you what amounts were allocated to what section of your budget, but also how decisions were reached. If you are unsatisfied with your request, you should contact the SFC and speak to one of the two SFC treasurers during office hours. It is also important that you have this budget so that you know what you have to work with for the upcoming year, and to prepare yourself if necessary for the Ad-hoc process. Funds can not be used if the office does not have on record that the organization treasurer has not seen/have a copy of their organization’s marked up budget.
