This will give you a general guide to the new financial forms for this year, and what are the best ways to use your club's allocated funds.
Event Proposal
Guidelines
Student Activities often asks that students write an event proposal before
going forward with an event. This proposal serves an important function for
our office since a proposal allows us to determine whether the event is feasible,
whether the funding is available and if the club will need more support or
guidance. A proposal is a starting point, and an effective one can help to
ease the challenge of planning a large or complex event. The document you
create should make the planning process much easier. For this to be true,
however, your club must put some time into the proposal process. The more
detailed and complete a proposal, the easier the planning and the more successful
an event. In general, large events (more than 100 people) need at least two
months of planning time. As events become larger, the planning time grows
as well.

Poster Approval All flyers, quarter sheets, posters and other types of publicity for your events and activities must be approved by your Student Activities advisor. The poster approval process and the postering policy are important pieces of information for all club and organization leaders.
**In an effort to be more eco-friendly, we're hoping that you'll take advantage of electronic poster approval. Email activities@american.edu with an attachment of your poster and we will send it back with a digital stamp. We hope that this will not only be more environmentally friendly but also decrease the turnaround time for approval.
