Schedule an eligibility review meeting
The SSFC encourages all GSSF applicants to meet with the ASM Funding Advisor to discuss their eligibility, programming, and presentation materials to ensure they meet policy expectations.
This gives an opportunity for applicants to ask questions and get an understanding of the overall process of being a part of the General Student Services Fund.
Please refer to the SSFC Calendar for dates and deadlines. This meeting should allow one week for any edits to be made by the applicants before submitting their final applications by the required due date.
To schedule an Eligibility Review Meeting, email the ASM Funding Advisor. You must have your application materials in progress for this meeting.
Schedule a Budget Review Meeting
The SSFC encourages all GSSF organizations to meet with the ASM Funding Advisor or ASM Accountant to discuss their budget excel and narrative to ensure all funding requests meet policy expectations.
This gives an opportunity for applicants to ask questions and get an understanding of the overall process of being a part of the General Student Services Fund.
Please refer to the SSFC Calendar for dates and deadlines. This meeting should allow one week for any edits to be made by the applicants before submitting their final applications by the required due date.
To schedule a Budget Review Meeting, email the ASM Funding Advisor. You must have your budget excel fully complete for this meeting.
Preparing For A Hearing
At the conclusion of your excel and other materials, you’ll submit your application by the required due date above. You’ll then be contacted by the SSFC Chair and be given a hearing and decision date.
At each hearing, organizations are able to present for 45 minutes total (or 20-25 minutes on eligibility and 20-25 minutes on budget). Essentially this presentation walks through why you meet the requirements of the Eligibility Criteria and what your budget to the GSSF is asking for.
The SSFC will have an opportunity to also ask questions during a Question and Answer (Q&A) period.
At the decision meeting, the SSFC will first vote on eligibility for the organization based on the Eligibility Criteria being met. If an organization is determined to have met Eligibility requirements, the SSFC will then move on to approving or amending their submitted budget.
An organization will have 10 business days post-decision to appeal to the Student Judiciary.
