Student Organization Funding Information
All student organizations must register once each academic year with the Office of Student Activities & Leadership in Shriver Center Room 356 in order to be eligible for funding. Registration also allows student organizations to use campus space (including reserving classrooms, the hub, the slant walk, etc), use the motor pool, obtain a mailbox, and open an account. Registration should be completed annually by the September 15th deadline. Only registered student organizations are eligible for ASG funding. Groups registered after the funding deadlines listed below will not receive funding for that particular cycle:
- First Semester Funding Deadline: September 15th
- Second Semester Funding Deadline: January 15th
In order to register, established student organizations should access the Student Activities registration website and begin the log-in process. Please complete and submit the online form. Your president will intitiate the process and s/he along with your advisor will sign the anti-hazing and anti-discrimination clauses as part of the registration process. Your group will be registered once the entire process is completed and received by the Student Activities & Leadership Office. Inadequate entries or incomplete submissions may rescind your funding opportunites for the next funding cycle. Your organization should also submit a recent constitution to the Office of Student Activities & Leadership when you register annually or every time your constitution is revised/amended. Newly formed groups must first complete the ASG Student Organization Recognition process (Step 1) before completing their annual registration.
Registration is important as it provides us with what we need to contact you directly with information on the funding cycles going on throughout the year.

Funding Procedure
It is the goal of Miami University’s Associated Student Government (ASG) to assist, aid, and promote student interests and activities through a variety of resources that student government provides. One of the most used resources is student organization funding. ASG has a systematic process in place that is used to help student organizations operate and thrive within the Miami community. This process is continuously being reviewed to ensure that student fee dollars are most effectively and equitably allocated to all eligible student organizations and their activities. Toward that effort, a group of ASG executive members have scrutinized previous methods and principles, and using methods of both quantitative and qualitative analysis have drafted a new funding process. The proposed funding process will have to be approved by our ASG Student Senate, which will be fully elected in mid-September. We need your questions, comments, and concerns to make this process best serve you and your student organizations. The various funding applications can be found on the left hand bar.
-
Administrative funding is funding that is intended to provide assistance to organizations for the day-to-day operations that are a necessity for the club toremain in existence. This is also the appropriate time to apply for any mandatory fees and dues charged by a national headquarters or mandatory national conferences. Administrative funding may be applied for at the end of each academic year with the received funds being used in the forthcoming academic year.
-
Event/Unity funding is for all events on-campus or off-campus that the organization is planning to partake in and/or host during the appropriate funding cycle. This is the most common type of funding and can be applied for twice each academic year during the standard funding cycles.
-
Capital funding is for any tangible item that the organization would like/needs to have for the improvement of the organization. Computers, phones, printers, etc are items which will be regarded as capital. Capital funding can be applied for twice each academic year during the standard funding cycles.
-
Emergency Funding is for events that require immediate attention, for an unforeseen event, thus it would be impossible to apply for Event Funding.The money that you are able access at any time is your Administrative Funding, and any income from dues or fundraisers. Administrative Funding is only to be used specifically for administrative tasks, and when you receive Event Funding you are only to spend that money on that event. Therefore, you may not use these funds to sponsor another event or misallocate the funds.Thus, if some sort of emergency arises that requires immediate attention, for which you couldn't have planned or applied for Event Funding, you can make an Emergency Funding request. These requests are made to the VP for Management of ASG, who then takes it to the Student Senate for approval. You can only make two such requests during the course of an academic year. Only a simple majority of the Senate must approve an emergency request of $250; a larger majority of approval by the Senate is required for requests greater than $250.
-
Student Initiative Funding (SIF) is for individuals who are not putting on the event as part of a student organization. This is to empower individuals, rather than solely organizations; it encourages and promotes student creativity and ideas. SIF funding is intended for speakers, events, etc. that are a one-time event, not already included in the Miami calendar. It is not intended to finance the day-to-day operations of an activity. Programs shall not generate a profit for the individual in charge of the event; it may generate for charity, as deemed beneficial for the Miami community by the SIF committee. These must be in compliance with University policies and business practices.
