Budgeted vs Unbudgeted Costs
Budgeted costs are items accounted for during the previous semester's budget request. At the time of the request, the details of the event are unknown so it always an estimate of what you will need based off of similar previous events or the allocation table.
For example:
$150 for Book Exchange Event:
It is now up to you and your group to decide how to use that money as you see fit. It is also a previously planned event so it would not qualify for an unbudgeted request. If the event was popular and you'd like to do it again then you can submit an unbudgeted request for that new event.
Be Aware of Financial Restrictions
SGA's Financial Handbook has specifically outlined what they will and will not fund whether it be requested through bi-annual budget requests or unbudgeted requests. Travel costs including transportation, rental cars, gas, and meals per day are standardized and laid out in the Allocation Table. Certain items such as T-shirts and clothing also have established policies.
Fundraised money is not subject to those same restrictions and is often how clubs are able to travel outside a 50-mile radius for events, activities, or competitions.
