The Treasurer and President of your RSO need to be financially trained first. After that process is done all you have to do is get a signature card from the SGA office to “access” your account. Once this is done you can submit any request for funds for your RSO through your organizations engage page.
How do I get Financially Trained?
Once you register and receive an SGA email you will have access to the virtual training via google classroom.
Where can I find the Form for Supplemental Funds?
The budget request can be found on your organization’s engage page! Supplemental fund request are reviewed regularly; please reach out to the SGA treasurer for questions.
Where can I find the form for publicity funds?
This is located on the SGA engage page and opens on the first day of the semester and remains for ten weeks.
How much money does my organization get per semester?
Each organization can get up to $15,000 per fiscal year! This is broken down into $2,000 in appropriations per year that each organization is entitled to. Then RSOs may apply for $1,000 in funding for publicity items, and supplemental funds up to $7,000 per semester that are given on a first come first serve basis so once it runs out we are done for the semester. The SGA will also pay for all security needed at events.
Does an RSO advisor have to be from a specific department?
No, the only requirements for an advisor is they have to be a full time faculty or staff of Montclair State University.
What is the difference between being registered with the SGA and being registered with a department?
If you register with the Student Government Association you will receive funding directly from the SGA. You will need to follow the statutes laid out in the constitution. If you register with a department you will receive funding from said department and will need to follow their rules.
I am having trouble with booking my room. Who do I talk to?
Room booking requests are managed with the Center for Student Involvement (CSI) located in STCT 104. If you have any questions regarding how to book a room or your engage page reach out to studentorgevents@montclair.edu or stop by the office!
Can someone hold more than one position in an executive board?
You can only have one president and one treasurer of an RSO. Any other position can be held by more than one person if clearly stated in the RSOs constitution.
Who do I talk to when we order something for your org?
If you are inquiring how to buy something and filling out the paperwork you can speak with the Executive Treasurer or Bookkeeper. If you are inquiring how to receive the item after your paperwork is approved you can speak to the office administrator. Only after paperwork is approved can you order something.
Do I still fill out a co-sponsorship form even if no money is being used?
Yes.
Where can I find the mock constitutions for RSOs to use for registration?
