  4. Club Contact Updates *Must be redone each year even if the eboard members are constant. Clubs: Log on to Campusvine to make sure they have an account. Attain a signature card from USG website. Complete signature card and make sure members can log on to Campusvine with the email addresses provided. Submit the signature card to the USG front desk. If your club is not updated within 2 business days, it is because the email address provided on the signature card did not work. USG: Front desk distributes copies of the signature card to the accounting office and USG Treasurer. USG Treasurer then adds the new contacts to Campusvine and email lists. *The USG Treasurer cannot add any email addresses to Campusvine that are not linked to an account. It is the CLUBS’s responsibility to follow up on this and let the treasurer know if they make an account after submitting the signature card. Michaud - 2014

  5. Voucher Process • Club members must all sign vouchers such that USG has at least 2 weeks to process the vouchers. • The administrative Director checks that all required documents for liability and processing are submitted and approved. • Examples: off campus trip forms, food permits, W-9’s, contracts, services rendered forms, invoices, receipts, etc. • The USG Treasurer checks that the appropriation abides by federal laws, SUNY Chancellor Guidelines, USG Constitution, USG Financial Bylaws, USG Standard Operating Procedures, USG Code, University Policies, and the club’s constitution. • Fiscal Agent approval and processing. • Bookkeeper approval and processing. • Check is cut or order is placed. • Club picks up check or order. Michaud - 2014

  6. Picking up Orders The accounting office will call eboard members to pick up ordered items. It will be stated on the voucher if the item is considered an asset by the Treasurer or Fiscal Agent. Items considered assets require the eboard member picking up the item to go to the ticket office and check in with Elizabeth Frisenda prior to being able to pick up the order from the accounting office. An eboard member goes to the accounting office to pick up the item and follow Elisabeth’s instructions in the case of an asset. *Only eboard members may pick up orders and will have to sign off when picking up the item(s). Michaud - 2014

  7. Picking up Checks • Checks will be available on Wednesdays and Fridays this year at the USG Front Desk, SAC 202during business hours. • Checks are printed on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but do not get to the office until the afternoon and need to be processed.

  8. Reimbursement Process Clubs must complete the Reimbursement Form from the USG website. Clubs must email the form to the USG Treasurer to get prior approval. The Treasurer will respond via email whether the reimbursement is approved or not. The club then creates the reimbursement voucher and turns in all receipts and other supporting documentation as would be done for a regular voucher. *Any reimbursement request that was not approved by the USG Treasurer prior to purchasing the item will NOT be approved under any circumstances as stated in the Financial Bylaws.
