All funding is on a reimbursement basis, and funding requests must be submitted at
least 3 business days prior to the event or travel. However, if there are any clarifications
needed or potential issues with a request, submitting requests well in advance allows
enough time to resolve them before the event/travel.
After funding has been approved by the GSGA, you have up to 10 business days to submit
all paperwork to the appointed Business Specialist.
Requests must be made for events and travel that will be taking place in the same
academic semester. Exceptions can be made for travel/events occurring in the first
week of each semester.
You may not submit a request to be reimbursed for an event or travel after it has
taken place.
All Student Activity Fund uses must adhere to the Business Procedures Manual of the
University System of Georgia. The most up-to-date requirements can be found here.
