Financial Policies: Forms
Most financial forms are available on in your club's portal under the Treasury tab. Financial forms are reviewed and approved weekly by the SGA Vice President for Financial Affairs, the Director of Leadership Activities and the SGA Accountant during the check approval process. Some forms require additional review/approval from multiple college entities, so submit requests well in advance of your event.
- The Expense Request Form can be used to request reimbursements up to $200, cash advances up to $200, online credit card purchases with the SGA credit card, payment for contracted students/employees and/or checks to be made out directly to outside vendors. It is preferred that clubs/committees make checks out directly to outside vendors.
- Documentation is required for most requests in the form of original, itemized receipts, price quotes/invoices, itemized lists of anticipated purchases or written confirmation of prices from a vendor.
- Only one cash advance may be taken out at a time per event. Leftover money and receipts from cash advances must be returned to the Leadership Activities Office within three days of the purchase.
- Contracts must be approved before expense requests are submitted. Contract/event approvals should be submitted at least two weeks prior to the event and at a minimum must be approved before an event takes place.
