The Student Government Association is the governing body for student organizations and activities at RMU. Each student organization is responsible for attending the meetings and keeping their records current with the SGA. It is also an excellent representative of the students' needs to the administration and trustees, as well as a focal point for distributing information down to the student organizations and, ultimately, to the students.

Meetings
The SGA meets with the student organizations every Monday at 5:15 PM in the 300 level of the Hale building. There is an official meeting agenda that is covered quite strictly at each meeting. It is not available online, but is on file in the SEMS Student Activities Office.
Student Organization Dinner
Approximately three or four times a year, the SGA holds a student organization dinner. It is usually held in the early evening in the Sewall Center and is open to several members of each organization. The purpose of this dinner is not just to thank the student officers for their contributions, but to bring everyone together to touch base on some of bigger issues.
The Student Activities Office or SGA will provide an attendance form, it must be filled out and returned within a week of the event date.
Organizational Roster
Budget/Finances
The official requirements for finances are not available online, but are on file in the SEMS Student Activities Office.
The budget must be submitted each semester with a proposal letter and table of expenses/income. There are several requirements of the organization for submitting a budget
- attend the SGA representative training meeting
- submit organization roster
- (recommended) have Community Service events
- (recommended) have Social Activities listed
- (recommended) have Professional Service events
- list some income generating event (even just dues collection)
The budgets will be reviewed by the SGA treasurer. If there are any issues the SGA will meet with one of the officers. Final allocations will be available in early November.
Using the Budget
The organization should be requesting what it will and can spend. A history of full spending will result in consistent allocations between semesters (so, do not over-budget for no reason!).
The SGA Treasurer will have reimbursement forms available for the organization. Simply fill out the form, attach a receipt or supporting document, and turn it into the SGA.
