Fundraising and the ability to accept donations on behalf of group
Office space and storage lockers

Student Group Cubicles

Assignment of office space for student groups in the Elliott University Center is based upon their expected level of
involvement in the Elliott University Center and contribution to the life of the University community, as evaluated by the Office of Campus Activities and Programs. At this time, there is no available office space.

Student Group Storage Lockers

Storage lockers are located in EUC Room 225 and 227. Student groups have access to lockers on a first come, first serve basis. To gain access to a storage locker, student groups must complete a Storage Cabinet Locker Agreement. Once complete, return the form to Kynnith Francis-Vaughan, CAP Office Suite [EUC 252], to be signed and given a locker assignment.

Student Group Finances

Student groups can have two finance accounts on campus: Student Group Fundraising Account and SGA Allocations Account. The balance of each can be checked on Spartan Connect
- Student Group Fundraising Account: This account is for student group dues, money gathered by fundraising, and ANY other funds the student group acquires. All funds will roll over until they are spent.
- SGA Allocations Account: This account is ONLY for SGA allocations. Allocations will be automatically transferred into the account. These funds will only be available for the semester given.
Purchasing: Student groups must submit a purchase request form to make purchases using funds in one of the above accounts.
Deposits: Money can only be deposited into the Student Group Fundraising Account. CAP only accepts in-person deposits in the form of check or cash. To deposit funds, come to the CAP office (Elliott University Center Suite 250 – 262), complete a deposit envelope, place cash and/or check into envelope, and then drop the envelope in the deposit box.
Fund reimbursement for student groups is possible, but not recommended. When a purchase request form is not possible and/or convenient, students can submit a reimbursement form.
