In addition to discussing organizational conflict with your RSO advisor, the Community Standards department is another resource available to student organizations looking for guidance on resolving conflict within your organization. This is a proactive approach to conflict resolution that helps students move through the process. This is not the same as reporting a concern to Community Standards.

The Finance Board is committed to maintaining transparency in all processes, including deadlines, policies, and funding decisions. In its role, the Finance Board aims to strike a thoughtful balance between supporting large-scale events and ensuring equitable access to funding for all Recognized Student Organizations (RSOs).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Finance Board is the financial arm of the Student Government Association. Led by the Comptroller and 12 elected members from different RSO communities, the Finance Board makes financial decisions for different student organizations on campus. Finance Board recommendations are sent to the SGA Assembly for approval. Using the Fiscal Codes, the Finance Board votes on each individual budget fairly to make equitable decisions for all RSOs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Review the <a href=\"https:\/\/experience.syracuse.edu\/student-engagement\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2025\/06\/Fiscal-Codes-6.24.25.pdf\">Student Government Association Fiscal Codes<\/a>.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n      <div class=\"accordion-item border border-gray-light\">\n      <div class=\"accordion-header-text\">\n        <h3 class=\"margin-bottom-0\">\n          <button class=\"accordion-header full-width background-gray-light-30 border-0 margin-0 padding-top-2 padding-bottom-2 padding-left-3 padding-right-3\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            Funding Categories            <div class='accordion-toggle icon-right' class=''>\n              <i class='icon-chevron-right'><\/i>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/button>\n        <\/h3>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class='accordion-content'>\n        <p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Event Based\/Performance <\/b><\/span>&#8211; RSOs in this category can only request funds in order to host events. Events are defined as:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li2\">Arts\/Theatrical (student performance-based)<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">Cinema<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">Community Service<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">Entertainment (concerts, comedy, parties\/festivals)<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">Educational<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Speakers<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"p1\">Many RSOs fall under this funding category. Funds requested for events and programs in this category must be related to the main mission of the RSO. For example, a culturally based group whose mission is to raise awareness of their culture on campus can only request funds for events that promote that culture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Performance-based RSOs typically apply for funding for their student-based shows that are related to the organization&#8217;s mission.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Professional RSOs in this category typically only request funds to attend related conferences and professional development opportunities like workshops and guest speakers. Very rarely do these RSOs get approved for funding to host parties, concerts, etc. Organizations in this category can utilize any type of funding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Supply Only <\/b><\/span>&#8211; RSOs in this category can only request funds to order supplies. The supplies requested must be related to the main purpose and mission of the organization. For example, a club that builds racecars can only apply for funding for parts to build their racecar. RSOs that are supply-only use Advanced Semester Allocation funding to order supplies for each semester.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Publication <\/b><\/span>&#8211; RSOs in this category typically have a media\/publication classification for their RSO. Publications include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\">Comedy<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Culture<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Entertainment<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Informative<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Newspaper<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Other, as determined by the Finance Board.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">Publications can only request money that is related to producing their publication.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Funding for publications can only be requested through Special Programming or Advanced Semester funding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Operating <\/b><\/span>&#8211; RSOs in this spending category may request funding once per academic year for operational expenses. This includes, but is not limited to, supplies, equipment, entertainment, space, etc. Operating RSOs are those organizations that are serving the broad campus community through their mission and work (i.e. campus media and news, etc.).<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n      <div class=\"accordion-item border border-gray-light\">\n      <div class=\"accordion-header-text\">\n        <h3 class=\"margin-bottom-0\">\n          <button class=\"accordion-header full-width background-gray-light-30 border-0 margin-0 padding-top-2 padding-bottom-2 padding-left-3 padding-right-3\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            Funding Options            <div class='accordion-toggle icon-right' class=''>\n              <i class='icon-chevron-right'><\/i>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/button>\n        <\/h3>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class='accordion-content'>\n        <p class=\"p1\">RSOs have several options to obtain funding for events, publications, etc. The options are:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\">Special Programming<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">Advanced Allocations<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">Expenditure Requests<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Contingency Requests<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Funding Category dictates the type of funding each RSO may apply for. If you are not sure what category your RSO falls under, contact your RSO Consultant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Student Engagement office maintains Student Government Association allocated funds, miscellaneous funds (ticket sale revenue), gift accounts, and RSO fundraising accounts. Co-Curricular grants are managed by the Division of Student Experience. RSOs are required to keep all money in accounts within the Student Engagement office. RSOs are not permitted to have off-campus bank accounts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><b>Advanced Semester Allocation <\/b><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Advanced Semester Allocation is the primary funding process. This process occurs once each semester to allocate funds to be used for the following semester. Organizations can apply for semester or annual budgets. This process also applies to RSOs wanting to host events with a maximum of $20,000 dollars or any contract for an event a paid speaker, artist, DJ, or performer, more than $1000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Applications are submitted to the Student Government Association Comptroller using the application form located in &#8216;Cuse Activities. Deadlines are announced at the beginning of each semester. Estimates, quotes, or alternative proofs of cost for each item requested are required. Failure to provide all requested documentation will result in an automatic denial. All organizations are strongly encouraged to meet with their RSO Consultant to ensure their applications are in order before submitting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>Special Programming <\/b><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Special Programming is available for current semester use. The Comptroller will accept applications weekly on a first come, first served basis, until funding is depleted. Budget requests that are denied are eligible to correct their applications and resubmit during the next available submission period. The Comptroller will continue accepting applications until funding is depleted. All organizations are strongly encouraged to meet with their RSO Consultant to ensure their applications are in order before submitting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">All budget requests submitted through Special Programming must be submitted by a minimum of two weeks prior to the event date. This ensures proper time for contract execution, supply orders, and event execution. Budget requests submitted later than two weeks prior to the event date will not be considered for approval.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>Contingency Funding <\/b><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Contingency Funding is available through \u2018Cuse Activities for organizations that have received Advanced Semester or Special Programming. This funding is intended to address unexpected circumstances, such as artist cancellations or changes in material costs, that affect an organization\u2019s ability to complete their initiative within the original budget.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">To access Contingency Funding, requests must be submitted by the RSO and approved by the Student Government Association Comptroller before any purchases or payments can be authorized. For example, if an artist requests hospitality (e.g., food) during their performance, and the RSO was unaware of this need when submitting their original budget, the RSO can request Contingency Funding to cover the hospitality expenses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>Expenditure Requests <\/b><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Expenditure Requests can be found on &#8216;Cuse Activities under the RSO\u2019s Finance tab. These requests must be completed by the RSO and approved by the Student Government Association Comptroller before any purchases or payments can be authorized.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Expenditure Requests are necessary when an RSO wishes to use funds in a different manner than originally approved. For example, if an RSO initially planned to host an event in the Underground but now wants to move to the Goldstein Auditorium, they may need to reallocate funds from the approved budget for the artist&#8217;s fee to cover the additional venue costs. Expenditure Requests are also used when an RSO wants to access funds from their Miscellaneous Account.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Review the <a href=\"https:\/\/chrome-extension\/efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj\/https:\/experience.syracuse.edu\/student-engagement\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2025\/06\/Fiscal-Codes-6.24.25.pdf\">Student Government Association Fiscal Codes<\/a>.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n      <div class=\"accordion-item border border-gray-light\">\n      <div class=\"accordion-header-text\">\n        <h3 class=\"margin-bottom-0\">\n          <button class=\"accordion-header full-width background-gray-light-30 border-0 margin-0 padding-top-2 padding-bottom-2 padding-left-3 padding-right-3\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            Event Revenue Generated Programming            <div class='accordion-toggle icon-right' class=''>\n              <i class='icon-chevron-right'><\/i>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/button>\n        <\/h3>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class='accordion-content'>\n        <p class=\"p1\">Any program that involves revenue generation or ticket sales must comply with the policies of the Student Engagement office.

Risk management is the process of examining the potential and perceived risks involved in an organization\u2019s activities, as well as supervising those activities and taking corrective actions and proactive steps to minimize accidental injury and\/or loss. For RSOs to remain at Syracuse University, it is important they take precautions and carefully plan activities to avoid situations that may jeopardize their standing as an RSO on campus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It is essential that every Recognized Student Organization (RSO) carefully evaluates the risks associated with any planned activity in relation to the anticipated benefits. This includes assessing whether the activity poses any potential risks, determining if those risks outweigh the benefits, identifying preventative measures that have been implemented to mitigate potential issues, and outlining procedures to address any problems that may arise. Reasonable care must be exercised in managing events to minimize harm to members and others involved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Reasonable precautions\u2014such as proper planning and training\u2014should be taken to prevent foreseeable problems. If, during the planning process, it becomes evident that the risks outweigh the benefits, even after mitigation efforts, the organization should strongly consider pursuing an alternative activity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Key considerations include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\">Victims of harm can pursue legal action against the organization, individuals within it, or any entity with oversight of the group or activity (e.g., national organizations).<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">Actions that result in harm may also carry criminal consequences, such as serving alcohol to minors or engaging in hazing.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">Participants should be informed in advance of any inherent dangers associated with an activity.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">Organizations affiliated with national bodies should consult their national representatives to understand the scope of the national insurance policy, including which events and officers are covered for local chapters.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Contracts are legally binding agreements. Under no circumstances should any student representative sign a contract on behalf of the organization or the University.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">It is also critical to actively prevent hazing and harassment of any kind. Both behaviors are illegal, strictly prohibited by the University, and may result in severe consequences for the organization and its members.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n      <div class=\"accordion-item border border-gray-light\">\n      <div class=\"accordion-header-text\">\n        <h3 class=\"margin-bottom-0\">\n          <button class=\"accordion-header full-width background-gray-light-30 border-0 margin-0 padding-top-2 padding-bottom-2 padding-left-3 padding-right-3\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            SU Statement of Student Rights and Responsibilities            <div class='accordion-toggle icon-right' class=''>\n              <i class='icon-chevron-right'><\/i>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/button>\n        <\/h3>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class='accordion-content'>\n        <p class=\"p1\">At Syracuse University, we are committed to ensuring a diverse, equitable, inclusive and accessible campus environment for all.

This role is distinct from that of an RSO Consultant. An RSO Advisor must be a current faculty or staff member employed by Syracuse University or SUNY-ESF and selected by the organization. Advisors may not be graduate students or students enrolled in professional studies programs and cannot be staff members from the Student Engagement Office.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a part-time faculty or staff member is selected as an Advisor, the Student Engagement office will require additional information outlining the nature of the relationship between the Advisor and the RSO, including expected level of involvement and support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on the advisor\u2019s role please reference the Advisor Handbook.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is an RSO Consultant?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Student Engagement staff members serve as RSO Consultants to all Recognized Student Organizations (RSOs). Each RSO is assigned a Consultant by the Student Engagement office and is expected to maintain regular communication and collaboration with them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RSO Consultants provide guidance on best practices for planning and executing successful events and programs, managing budgets and finances, and navigating the logistics required to maintain active RSO status. They also serve as advocates and liaisons, connecting RSOs with administrative offices and campus partners.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consultants and Advisors work collaboratively to support the growth, development, and long-term success of each RSO.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div role=\"region\" class=\"accordion\">\n      <div class=\"accordion-item border border-gray-light\">\n      <div class=\"accordion-header-text\">\n        <h3 class=\"margin-bottom-0\">\n          <button class=\"accordion-header full-width background-gray-light-30 border-0 margin-0 padding-top-2 padding-bottom-2 padding-left-3 padding-right-3\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            Basic Expectations of the RSO Consultant            <div class='accordion-toggle icon-right' class=''>\n              <i class='icon-chevron-right'><\/i>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/button>\n        <\/h3>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class='accordion-content'>\n        <p class=\"p1\">Listed below are the basic expectations of RSO Consultants in the Student Engagement office.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>Basic Expectations <\/b><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li3\">Negotiate contracts for events, programs, and initiatives on behalf of the RSO.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Execute payments and supply orders pre and post event.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Enforce campus and department policies and procedures.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Assist with preparing and submitting budget requests.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Facilitate annual re-registration period including training\/workshop facilitation.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Communicate relevant updates to RSO leaders including upcoming events, required training, and leadership development opportunities.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Point of contact between RSO and Budget Manager for current fund availability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n      <div class=\"accordion-item border border-gray-light\">\n      <div class=\"accordion-header-text\">\n        <h3 class=\"margin-bottom-0\">\n          <button class=\"accordion-header full-width background-gray-light-30 border-0 margin-0 padding-top-2 padding-bottom-2 padding-left-3 padding-right-3\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            Basic Expectations of the University Advisor            <div class='accordion-toggle icon-right' class=''>\n              <i class='icon-chevron-right'><\/i>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/button>\n        <\/h3>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class='accordion-content'>\n        <p class=\"p1\">It is important that Advisors serve in an active role for Recognized Student Organizations (RSOs).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>Advisor Contract <\/b><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">All faculty\/ staff who agree to serve as an Advisor must sign an Advisor Contract.
