It will be expected that students who attend or participate will share their gained knowledge with the Saint Mary’s College community.

The Programming Fund:The Programming Fund provides financial support to student organizations wishing to plan events, which are open to the entire student body; have broad campus appeal; and promote social, cultural and educational activities.

Technology Equipment Fund: The Technology Equipment Fund provides financial support to media focused student organizations chartered by the Associated Students of Saint Mary’s College. Specifically, these organizations will have access to this fund in order to provide funding for replacing or repairing technological equipment.

Quick Facts

Copies:

Associated Student Government set up a fund for organization copying. Organizations are allowed to make up to 20 copies at a time by dropping their originals off in the Student Involvement and Leadership Copy Shop. Flyers will be returned to your box within 24 hours from the time you drop them off. If a club wishes to do a bigger copy job through the Print Shop, they must charge it to their allocated or fundraised account.

Mileage:
To be reimbursed for mileage, attach an electronic print out of your trip. On your expense report, multiply your mileage by .55.

Meals:
To be reimbursed for meals, attach an itemized receipt and a list of the people who ate a meal. The allowed amount per person is as follows:
Breakfast: $7.00 per person
Lunch: $10.00 per person
Dinner: $18.00 per person
This does not include tax and tip. ASSMC will not pay for alcoholic beverages of any kind.

Sales Tax:

Tax must be charged when selling items. To avoid double taxation, contact the Associated Student Vice President for Finance to receive a seller’s permit before you purchase items to be sold. This permit will allow you to purchase your materials tax free, as you will be charging tax when selling. For more information on sales tax, please refer to the College Policies section
