SEVEN STEPS to get GA money for your graduate student group!

1. Meet GA graduate student group eligibility requirements. To apply for graduate student group funding, the GA defines graduate student groups as its members containing at least 2/3 registered graduate students. Additionally, your graduate student group officers are graduate students registered with the Campus Life and Leadership Office (CLL). This step is required for all funding categories except the Travel Award. (If you are applying for the Travel Award complete the application here)

Your student group will be notified via email, informing you of the Funding Committee's and Delegate's decision. The funding report will also be posted online and available at the GA. It is your responsibility to check your actual allocations on the notification date before you begin spending. You only have 7 CALENDAR days to appeal this report.
   


• After reviewing the funding report, purchase approved items via cash, check, credit card. Contact the Business Office regarding the use of a Purchase Order (PO) or a Personal Service Agreement (PSA). A Personal Service Agreement (PSA) is the only method to issue Honoraria.
• Note: For Graduate Events and Grant Projects, you are required to post your event on the Student Events Calendar. A print out of your posting must be attached to the Expenditure Reimbursement Form (ERF) in order to be reimbursed.
  
  
7. Submit the original itemized receipts and one copy of the itemized receipts attached to the Expenditure Reimbursement Form (ERF) within 30 days of your event or by the receipt due date (whichever is first).
