All active Registered Student Organizations (RSO) who have met CSIL’s training requirements and do not charge a required fee for membership are eligible to request funding after two full semesters since becoming registered. Neither Fraternity and sorority life chapters nor councils are eligible to receive funding.

If the Finance Board does not provide funding, you will need to submit a Purchase Request. If your RSO account does not have sufficient funds, individual student deposits from your members may be an option to help cover the expenses.

Once your event has occurred/supplies have been purchased and the costs have been posted to your internal financial account, your RSO will be reimbursed the amount based on the amount indicated in your funding decision. If your expenses go over the allotted funding amount, your RSO will be held responsible for covering the additional costs. This process takes 3-4 weeks to receive funding reimbursement depending on the complexity of the request.

*** Funding reimbursement will be pro-rated if your requested costs are less than previously stated. (i.e. Funding decision was 50% ($500) of the requested amount of $1000, however the actual cost was $800. The adjusted reimbursement amount would then be $400.

No, you are unable to withdraw cash from your RSO Account. To use your club’s funds, you must submit a Purchase Request.

You must have an approved Purchase/Funding Request (submit 30 days prior to event) and upload an invoice and W-9 in the request. The invoice should be supplied by the performer. The performer must also provide proof of insurance for them to be able to perform on campus. They will receive their payment 2-3 weeks after the paperwork has been processed.

All performers brought to campus must provide proof of a comprehensive general insurance policy. If they do not carry insurance, they must send an email to Susie West srwest@salisbury.edu stating so. We will then need to request permission to waive our insurance requirements. If the request is not approved, your performer will not be permitted on campus.

You must submit a Purchase Request. Request a  from whoever is receiving the donation. Use the information from the W-9 to complete a Donation Request Form (PDF). Upload W-9 and completed (and signed) Donation Form in your request.

No, you are unable to use your RSO account funds to reimburse an off-campus account.

To purchase custom items (such as embroidered apparel or giveaways) or printed advertising materials (such as posters to hang on campus bulletin boards), meet with your organization’s CSIL point of contact, who can initiate a Publications order for your organization.

Reimbursements are the exception, not the rule. Reimbursements can be denied if-

1. You don’t have proper receipts
2. You purchased items not permitted under university policy
3. Your organization does not approve the purchase
4. Funds would be used to pay for artist/entertainer/company brought to campus without prior approval
5. You organization does not have enough money to cover the reimbursement

You must submit a Purchase Request and upload a completed expense report with pre-tax totals. You will need to provide original store receipts (no copies) for the purchase that show the subtotal and total.

Once your Purchase Request is approved by the Finance Board, you will have to go into the Finance Board’s office drop off receipts and sign your Expense Report. You will receive a check in the mail approximately 3 weeks after the paperwork has been processed.

Your purchase request will not be approved until the following requirements are met:

• Bring in a hardcopy of the W-9 and original receipts to the Finance Board.
• Original receipts need to be turned in, however for online purchases, or if the receipt is gone, a bank statement or credit card confirmation will suffice. This must show your name on the account and payment details.
• The expense report needs to be completed electronically, signed (electronically or in ink), and printed.
• The address listed on the expense report must match the address listed on the W-9. It is recommended to use your home/permanent residence. NOT your SU address.
• Do not combine the receipt totals in one line on the expense report. List all the receipts on their own lines (delete the pre-filled row names if needed and add the respective store names)
• SU cannot reimburse tax, so list only pre-tax totals on the expense report.
• It will take about 3-4 weeks for the check to arrive at the address listed on the forms.

No, ºÚÁÏÍø is unable to reimburse tax. For reimbursements, only pre-tax totals should be listed in Expense Reports.
