2012-2013 Charter Workshops!

Every student organization must re-charter each fall semester, regardless of what point in the previous year they were chartered. This year's Early Charter Deadline is Friday, September 14th at 5:00 pm. Groups may still charter at any point throughout the year. All organizations must send one officer to a mandatory charter workshop but a second officer is suggested. If you are not sure about what workshop to attend, follow these tips or contact our office (277-4706):

RE-Charter Workshops:

SGAO Workshops!

The Student Government Accounting Office (SGAO) will be hosting Financial Workshops for Chartered Student Organizations who have received budgets through either the ASUNM or GPSA 2012-2013 budget processes. You will receive a copy of you budget, sample internal requisition (IR) and helpful information on how to make the most of the funds you receive. Organizations must have 2 officers attend one of these workshops before your group may access their funds. This applies to officers who have attended workshops during previous years. Officers do not need to attend the same workshops. Graduate student organizations who receive PB funds do not need to attend these workshops, instead see the schedule of PB workshops below.
