Student Activities.


The student activity fee of $44.00 per semester enables students to enjoy a program of social, cultural, recreational and co-curricular activities and services. Payment of this fee entitles students to admission to drama programs, performing arts programs, guest speakers, special events, dances and concerts at little or no cost. Students are also entitled to copies of the bi-monthly newspaper, the Inkwell, the university literary magazine, the Caliope and this handbook.

The Student Senate develops the student activities budget based on the recommendations of the SGA Finance Committee in consultation with the Director of Student Activities, and the Vice President for Business and Finance. The budget is subject to the approval of the Vice President of Student Affairs and the President of the university. The following guidelines are used to determine funding eligibility by the Finance Committee.

For a program to be funded by activity fees, one of the two following criteria must be met.
  1. The organization must exist purely to serve or represent the student body as a whole. Its programs and operations benefit the overall student body and participation in the organization must be open to all students. The organization must not have any racial, religious or ethnic ties which might discourage otherwise interested students from joining it.

    The organization cannot have as its primary aim service to any special interest group, but must rather serve the entire student body.

  2. OR:

  3. The organization must be presenting a program which satisfies the following three requirements:

    1. The program must be of general benefit to the student body and participation in the program must be open to all interested students.

    2. The program must be one which the sponsoring organization is uniquely able to present or at least one which the sponsoring organization is clearly better able to present than any other campus organization already funded under criteria No. 1 above.

    3. The program must have sufficient value to warrant its funding when compared to other programs satisfying the other criteria explained above.


If an organization requests funding for a program that satisfies the above requirements then the Finance Committee may recommend Senate approval. Of course, the Finance Committee reserves the right to review any organization at any time to assure that the organization is complying with the guidelines above.
