To provide guidance and support to GSA's, the Board of Directors, in consultation with the Graduate Executive Committee, has adopted a series of policies.
Each official GSA is allotted a yearly fiscal budget of $250 from the RSU. The breakdown below represents the amount that can be allocated in each category. Any expenses above or not included in the budget must be applied for through a Grant Application prior to the purchase of the item or be funded through your trust account.
Education: $100
Funds available towards academic events. For speakers, a small gift is recommended in lieu of an honorarium. To save on items purchased from the Ryerson Bookstore, pickup a purchase order form from the Campus Groups Administrator. It is a non-cash transaction.
Social Events: $100
Funds available towards social events for prizes, food, and decorations.
Miscellaneous: $50
Funds available for supplies, printing costs for meetings, and other operational expenses.
