Submit a budget request in Sun Devil Centralwithin the above deadlines. See the below guide for help.

Only the top three officers of an organization should submit a budget request since they should’ve taken the required Appropriations Training course. Submissions from advisors or general members will not be considered.

REVIEW PROCESS

Your student organization’s general budget request will be reviewed within four weeks of submission. If further clarification is needed on your budget request, a comment will be left on your budget request. An automatic email will be sent to the budget requestor – the individual who submitted the budget. However, we highly recommend that you also regularly check Sun Devil Central to avoid missing a notification.

The turnaround time is conditional on your student organization being responsive to our questions and requests for clarification.

Funds will be available for use once the Senate Appropriations Committee approves the budget internally.
