Budget and Allocations
Each student pays a $95.00 program fee to enroll in a community. The money is used to offset the cost of the program. For planning purposes the budget will be divided as follows:
| Recruitment and welcoming materials | 10.00 |
| Communication with families | 10.00 |
| Administrative costs | 25.00 |
| Programming | 50.00 |
Funding is held in an account in Student Organizations Financial Services (SOFS) office because the University Learning Communities are recognized student organization.
Accessing the funds can be accomplished in two ways:
Faculty or staff may spend their own money and provide receipts to the Academic Learning Communities Coordinator, who will work with the student organization treasurer to prepare the reimbursement.
Prior to the expenditure the purchaser can determine the exact amount of the purchase and work with the Academic Learning Communities Coordinator to have a check cut for that amount. Once the item is purchased the receipt must be returned to the Academic Learning Communities Coordinator so s/he can file it with the SOFS office.
Departments are also encouraged to seek outside sources of fund activities.
