               § Funding Requests without an associated Advisor Approval not be considered

Immediately after an advisor submits their approval, the organization treasurer will receive a notification e-mail. If the treasurer does not receive this notification in due time, feel free to contact me.

     o   The Budget Committee will reconvene for the Fall 2012 Budget Process. 

Once the Budget Committee has heard all eligible Budget Proposals, we will once again convene to compare all eligible proposals at one time and decide which options are the most equitable to the entire Ithaca College campus. The Budget Committee will take into consideration an organization’s past conduct regarding SGA Budget Proposals when making these allocation decisions and they will not be made on a first-come, first- serve basis.

If you have any questions, concerns, or are in need of any special accommodations, feel free to stop by the SGA office located on the third floor of Campus Center in Student Activities Center during my office hours (bit.ly/icSGABusiness) or e-mail me at sgabusiness@ithaca.edu.
