Financial Guidelines
Student Organizations at GULC have access to, and privileges within, the University’s financial system. Student organizations must follow all GULC financial policies and procedures, and have a treasurer to maintain the financial records of its organization. At the start of each academic year the Office of Student Life hosts a Student Leader Training, which includes a specific workshop for treasurers on financial policies and procedures. Throughout the year, OSL staff are available to advise students on financial policies, and are happy to assist with any financial questions. Organization treasurers should also be in contact with the Student Bar Association treasurer to become familiar with SBA funding guidelines.
We hope that the information below will help guide treasurers and students with the financial processes of student organizations! The University is tax-exempt, so please remember to take the correct forms with you when you make purchases in DC, VA, or MD. Please note that tax on lodging and food service must be paid, and cannot be reimbursed.
As always, the staff in the Office of Student Life are available to help with any and all student organization financial questions!
