Auxiliary Requests

Per the SGA Financial Policies and Procedures, any student organization recognized by the Office of Student Leadership and Involvement is eligible to apply for auxiliary funding. The Auxiliary Request Form should be used for an organization's treasurer to submit an auxiliary request.

Please take note of the following to consider before applying for auxiliary funding:

  • Auxiliary funding should be an organization's last resort for funding
  • An organization is permitted one (1) auxiliary allocation per academic semester
  • Auxiliary funding is not guaranteed and will be allocated at the discretion of the SGA Finance Committee
  • All Auxiliary requests need to be submitted a minimum of two full weeks before funds are needed

Once an auxiliary request has been submitted it will be reviewed by the SGA treasurer. Approval of this form does not mean the auxiliary request has been granted, but rather that the SGA treasurer has received and reviewed the submission. Once this form has been reviewed, the SGA treasurer will contact the organization's treasurer if necessary to schedule a meeting with the SGA Finance Committee.

SGA Finance Committee meets on Wednesdays at 5pm during the Spring Semester.

SSI Accounts & Accessing Funds
