Student Allocations Committee

Purpose:

The Student Allocations Committee (SAC) is a university committee formed with the purpose of assisting Winthrop’s student clubs and organizations in sponsoring programs and events beneficial to the entire student body of Winthrop University.

Eligibility:

To be eligible for SAC funding, student organizations must fulfill the following requirements:

1. Be officially chartered by the Council of Student Leaders and recognized by the Office for Clubs and Organizations.

2. Be in good standing with the Office for Clubs and Organizations and submit a completed Campus Organization Registration Form in the semester funding is requested. Registration forms are due September 30th and January 31st.

3. Have a representative attend both the Clubs and Organizations and Space Use training in the academic year funding is requested.

4. Have a representative attend SAC training for the designated funding period.

Note: The representatives who attend the training session are responsible for

communicating ALL the information back to the organization.

5. On-campus events and activities must be open to all Winthrop students.

6. Organizations charging admission to events/programs funded by the SAC may realize profits only after reimbursing the SAC account for the original appropriation. (Your organization must pay SAC back the original amount loaned to you).

Note: Events and activities supported in whole or in part by SAC funds need not and should not avoid controversial, political, religious and/or ideological content. All SAC allocation decisions are made in a view-point neutral manner

Reminders:

If your organization needs to be reimbursed, you must turn in all receipts within 2 weeks of your event’s scheduled date as indicated on the event worksheet or your money will be returned to the general SAC account and will be reallocated for other events.
If you receive money this semester, you are required to send representatives to the Fall Leadership Construction Workshops. Information will be sent out in the on-line newsletter (the Post-Webb). This newsletter is sent out to the president and the advisor of your group. It is your responsibility to follow-up and make sure your organization is represented. Failure to attend can result in a loss of allocations privileges for the following semester.
All advertisements for funded events must include the tag line:
Partially funded by the Council of Student Leaders OR another approved tag line.
These will be checked when you bring fliers to 218 Dinkins for approval.
