Club Discretionary Funds
All Registered clubs are eligible to petition for Discretionary Funding from the ASG Student Senate according to the Club Funding Timeline. Please complete this petition in its entirety – incomplete forms may not be considered. The discretionary fund is used to promote creative programming and to give the opportunity to sponsor events that may cost more than your quarterly allocation. To access this fund, Registered Clubs must complete the Petition for Discretionary Funds form and submit it to ASG. Within one week of being received, the Student Affairs Committee and/or the Student Senate will review the petitions. The following week, they will make a decision. Clubs will then be notified of the decision by e-mail, and a Notice of Legislation will be placed in the Club mailboxes. Your club will not receive a check or cash in the amount of the allocation. To access your approved discretionary funds, complete an Expense Request form.
