NEW STUDENT GROUP POLICIES FOR 2019-2020

Some changes have been made to the way in which student groups are formed and are allotted funding.

WHY?

* Better usage/distribution of funds, so that funding doesn't go unused each year
* Ability to recruit incoming 1st years at fall orientation
* Better process is needed for student groups to be able to access their funds

MAIN CHANGES:

* Apply in the Spring for the following academic year (apps due May 30th)
* Each group will need to have a basic Constitution and Bylaws on file
* Groups will be allocated a base budget of $300 per year
* Additional funding will be allocated via a funding application, due August 30th
* Groups with at least one officer who is a DU employee (ideally the Treasurer) may be able to be issued a "declining balance" debit card

Most JKSIS organizations are open to all students, although some are exclusive to undergraduate students (e.g. Sigma Iota Rho honor society) or graduate students (e.g. Graduate Student Association) respectively.
