Hello all,
We hope you all had an amazing break and you all have returned to campus reenergized to tackle the semester! Ezeka Allen, our SGC VP of Business and Finance wanted to advise you all of some operation changes and important dates for the upcoming semester:
OPERATION CHANGES:
This semester the committee will be fully enforcing all of the existing policies outlined in the Allocations Handbook, including, but not limited to:
· Budget Proposals - Completely fill out the budget proposal template. All information at the top must be completed. All budget proposal submitted must be named with your student organization’s name.
· Using correct numbers when submitting budget proposals
· Weekly Deadlines - Please be aware that all budget proposals must be received and processed a minimum of two weeks prior to an event. If a budget proposal is submitted less than two weeks before an event, the Appropriations Committee will not hear the proposal. This policy is to promote increased planning and structure within all organizations.
· Funding Requests that include CCES services – Before an funding request is submitted, you must meet with CCES and abide by all of their policies.
IMPORTANT DATES:
· February 1 - Spring Appropriation Committee Allocation Meetings will resume looking at proposals. Please note the location has changed and these meeting will now be in Business 206.

If a budget proposal is submitted for an event occurring after Block I of the upcoming fall semester, the organization will not be allowed to participate in the Fall Semester Allocation Process and must wait until the Appropriations Committee reconvenes after the start of the next academic year to submit a budget proposal.
