SUFAC Budget Updates 

As your student organization prepares for events this semester and the upcoming year, keep these dates and requirements in mind: 

Budget Workshops for the fiscal year 2025-2026 are coming up! Each organization must send two (2) student representatives to one of the workshops. Attendance is required for either the current president or treasurer, and the second representative should be an emerging leader for the next year. Advisors are welcome to attend but do not count as representatives.  

During the workshops, we will cover the budgeting procedure, allowable expenses, applicable rates, completion of the budget spreadsheet, and critical deadlines. Please bring any questions you may have regarding these topics. Below are the details for each session: 

Monday, February 10th, 4-4:50 PM 

• Yellowjacket Union 204 OR Zoom: 422 329 2784 

Thursday, February 13th, 12-12:50 PM 

• Yellowjacket Union 204 OR Zoom: 422 329 2784 

New this year: SUFAC is introducing Self-Audit and Inventorying for Student Organizations. This process ensures proper controls are in place and identifies areas for improved efficiencies in spending student-segregated fees.  

The deadline for the Inventory and Self-Audit sheet is Monday, March 3rd. Keep your eye out for more info. 

Contact the SUFAC Chair, Elroee Sirak at sufac.chair@uwsuper.edu for any questions or concerns.

‘Jackets Connect Tips and Tricks!  

Did you know?  

• Once you create your event on the 'Jackets Connect event calendar, you'll be asked if you’d like your event promoted in several other places for you. Student Involvement will handle promoting your events and meetings on digital signage, SharePoint News, the campus web calendar, and our Student Involvement Instagram and Facebook. All you need to do is advertise it once on ‘Jackets Connect by filling out the “Create Event” form and selecting the platforms where you’d like your event advertised! Here is a brief tutorial on how to create an event if needed. 

• With the SUFAC budgeting process approaching, it’s crucial to update your student organization’s membership in ‘Jackets Connect.  

1. Go to your group. 

2. Select “Members.” 

3. Click “Add Member.”  

Make sure to notify each new member by email so they can accept their active membership in your organization. Remind them to check their email for a message from mailer@campusgroups.com. SUFAC uses the number of active members to calculate certain budget numbers, like travel and apparel. Here is a brief tutorial on adding members if needed. 

For additional online help tutorials visit the Campus Groups Help Center. 

Be sure to visit the Student Organization Leader Training on Canvas for additional student organization resources – it is meant to serve as a handbook throughout the year!
