Welcome to Student Org Funding!

Christian Martinez
Hi! My name is Christian Martinez and I am the Vice President of Finance for the 2022-23 academic school year. I and the finance committee are excited to work with the 400+ student organizations on campus. We diligently work to ensure each organization is receiving the funds and resources to operate their club proficiently. Please check out this newly designed finance tab. Here, you will find information on account activation, student organization funding, and requisitions.

Account Activation:

Every Registered Student Organization (RSO) that wishes to open an ASUCR account must activate their account annually. Accounts must be activated for new RSOs and reactivated for returning RSOs each year. Accounts may be activated starting Thursday, October 6th, 2022 and onwards, and will expire early June 2023.
Student organizations will now be allocated funding automatically as part of the account activation process! New RSOs will start with a $1000.00 allocation. 
*Access to rollover/income funds will not be available until the account has been activated. 

Account Activation

  • View the Account Activation PowerPoint in its entirety (coming soon). 
  • Take the Authorized Signers Test (coming soon).  be sure to enter your first and last name when you log in. Signers must pass with an 80%. You may take the test as many times as needed to pass with an 80% or higher. 
  • Once all Authorized Signers (2-3) for an organization have completed the test, reaching the requirements below, print and complete the Authorized Signers Form (coming soon). Turn it in to the ASUCR Front Desk.
    • A minimum of 2 and maximum of 3 members per organization must complete the test. (Members usually consist of the President, VP, and/or Treasurer. All signers must be current, full-time undergraduate students - the students must be enrolled in at least 12 units and cannot be waitlisted for any classes below the 12 units. These individuals are known as the Authorized Signers).
  • You can find your allocation for 2022-23 and account number here.  (Allocations are based on the last allocated amount)
  • There is no longer a need to create a budget!

 

Finance FAQs

  • How do T-Shirts work?
    • ASUCR now funds T-shirts, polos, jackets, quarter zip ups, etc. (all apparel)
    • T-shirts will only be reimbursed if purchased between Fall and Winter quarter; not Spring quarter.
    • We require a 2" x 2" of the ASUCR logo anywhere on the T-shirt.

    • ASUCR limits professional speaking fees to $600 a year for both organization general funding and grants.
    • ASUCR requires a W-9 Form (Tax ID Number). Must be a professional and not be associated/affiliated with the University of California, Riverside.
    • Professionals must provide an invoice and your organizations will attach the invoice, W-9 to the requisition form and electronically submit to ASUCR for approval.
    • Ensure the professional speaker is set up on the banking platform Zelle.
    • Submit a requisition form and ASUCR will pay your professional speaker directly. 
  • What is the difference between equipment rental and equipment purchase?
    • There is no limit when it comes to equipment rental.
    • There is no longer a limit for equipment purchases!
  • What is generally funded for meeting expenses?
    • Generally, organizations use their meeting expenses line item on food purchases for club meetings. Food must be ordered from pre-approved vendors (such as Dominio’s, Panda Express, etc.)
    • Organizations will not be reimbursed for food brought from a grocery store. 
    • There is a $15 limit per plate per person.
  • What documents are required in order to be reimbursed for meeting expenses?
    • The organization must keep the original receipt/invoice from the purchase. This will need to be attached to the requisition form. 
    • ASUCR also requires a list of members that attended the meeting. Please keep a record of those in attendance by having a sign up sheet with members names and SID numbers. 
  • How long does it take for requisitions to be processed and approved?
    • Expect your requisition to be approved and transferred into your bank account via Zelle or PayPal within 5-10 business days. 
  • Does ASUCR fund gifts?
    • No. Gifts such as graduation cords and stoles are not allowed. 
  • What are rollover funds?
    • These are funds that were once deposited by the organization via fundraisers, club dues, donations, etc. This is separate from allocated funds. If rollover funds are not spent, they will be rolled over from year to year. If the organization has an outside bank account, it can request for the rollover funds to be withdrawn and deposited into the outside bank account.

Do I need to be reimbursed?

  • Requisitions are back to physical forms.  You may pick up requisitions in the ASUCR front office lobby Monday - Friday from 8 am - 5 pm.  Online requisitions are no longer accepted.
  • If you have several reimbursement receipts for one person, you do not need a requisition for each receipt.
  • Please tape all loose receipts to a piece of paper.
  • You do not have to itemize every item on the receipt on the requisition.  
  • All reimbursements will be made via Zelle or PayPal. Please register with Zelle prior to submitting your requisition.
  • Proof of payment is required on every receipt/invoice submitted for reimbursement.
  • Receipts will not be accepted after 30 days from the purchase date.
Example: If you have receipts from Walmart, Target, and Domino's, please list each store as individual line items with a brief description and the total of each receipt. In the explanation box, that is where you'll be more descriptive of what the items were for. Please be as detailed as possible to avoid delays in your reimbursement.
