Once recognized, clubs and organizations may receive funding. Funding requests may be made individually, or for a series of events. Club representatives may attend the weekly meeting of the ASC to request funds. The ASC will determine the amount and then assist with the paper work to expend those funds. Clubs and organizations are encouraged to raise money for activities, projects, field trips, guest speakers, etc., on their own, subject to prior approval from the ASC Fund Raising Committee. Fund raising activities shall exclude dues payments from members or funds from other college budgets and otherwise comply with the college’s official policy on fund raising, which specifies that in no instance may selling off-campus involve items or services which could be construed to be in competition with local business. Further, raffle or lottery tickets can only be sold to current college students, staff, and faculty. The sale of raffle or lottery tickets off-campus is prohibited. All funds must be deposited in Associated Student accounts, subject to normal college audits, rules of expenditure, and record keeping. Excess club funds may be not be carried forward from one year to the next.
