Student organizations can make purchases through different methods including:

• University check
• Direct deposit or wire transfer

• Cash advance
• Credit card (in-store or online)

Note: Paying out of pocket using your own credit card or cash for reimbursement is the last resort.

Contact your CSI advisor to assist you with determining which purchasing method is most appropriate.

Payments are typically made via university check, direct deposit, wire transfer, or purchase order. Your CSI advisor will help you make that determination based on who needs to be paid and what payment method they requested (or what payment method is most appropriate).

Requests:

• The president or budget manager (or equivalent positions) needs to prepare all required forms and documents and submit them virtually through the forthcoming online form; there are no more paper or print documentation needed.
• If the president or budget manager does not have the required forms and documents ready, then they will be contacted to submit whatever forms or documents are missing.

Contact your CSI advisor to assist you with determining which payment method is most appropriate.

Contact your CSI advisor to assist you with preparing reimbursement forms and documents.

Student organizations can request cash from the Center for Student Involvement (CSI) that they can use to make payments in-person at a store.

Requests:

• The president or budget manager (or equivalent positions) needs to submit a request for cash advance several days before when they need the cash to ensure CSI has enough to distribute to them.
• CSI will contact the president or budget manager once the cash is ready for pickup.
• Same day requests are discouraged as CSI cannot guarantee that there will be enough cash since there is a limited amount of cash to service all student organizations.

Online form:

• Petty Cash & Cash Advance Request Form (online form)
• Virtual Credit Card & Cash Advance Request Form (new online form is forthcoming by November 2024)

Contact your CSI advisor to assist you with discussing your student organization's cash needs.

Student organizations can request their CSI advisor to make credit card payments on their behalf whether for in-store or online purchases. Options include either purchasing card (P-card) for general purchases or travel card (T-card) for food and travel purchases.

When to use and not use:

• The P-card and T-card should be used only if:
• Credit card payment is the only available option; or
• There is not enough time to use any other payment option such as university check, direct deposit, wire transfer, purchase order, petty cash, or cash advance.
• Student organizations should plan in advance to use different payment methods other than P-card or T-card.

Contact your CSI advisor to assist you with discussing your student organization's credit card needs.

Whenever student organizations collect or receive cash and checks, that money must be submitted to the Center for Student Involvement (CSI) as soon as possible to be deposited into their respective account.

Note: Student organizations need to deposit cash and checks first before using that money to make payments and purchases; it is not fiscally responsible to use undeposited cash to make payments and purchases.

Making a deposit:

• Paperclip the cash and checks together or place in an envelope if needed.
• Put a post-it note on the collected money with your name, name of the student organization, and "For Deposit" (or write this same information on the envelope if using one).
• Place the collected money in the appropriately labeled tray at Benson Room 201.
• Return the cash box or cash bag if one was borrowed from CSI.

Contact your CSI advisor to assist your student organization with making deposits.

Student organizations are able to both make donations and receive donations. The Center for Student Involvement (CSI) assists with both processes and works with the Development Office when appropriate including to formally thank the donor for tax purposes.

Making a donation:

• Contact CSI to request a donation be made to a charitable organization.
• The request should include the total amount to be donated and the name of the charitable organization.
• Accounts Payable may request certain documents depending on the charitable organization.
• Note: A donation is a fund transfer to a charitable organization not affiliated with SCU; if funds need to be transferred to a student organization and/or university department, then follow the steps below in the "Transfers" section.

Receiving a donation (directly to the student organization):

• Paperclip the cash and/or checks together or place in an envelope if needed.
• Put a post-it note on the collected money with your name, name of the student organization, and "Donations for Deposit" (or write this same information on the envelope if using one).
• Place the collected money in the appropriately labeled tray at Benson Room 201.

Receiving a donation (through means managed by the university, i.e. Day of Giving):

• Contact CSI to confirm when such donations are made, who made the donations, and how much was donated.
• Request transfer of those funds from the student organization's gift account to fund account.
• Note: Donations in a student organization's gift account cannot be spent so that money needs to be transferred to the student organization's fund account.

Contact your CSI advisor to assist your student organization with making and receiving donations.

• Note: Donated funds go into a gift account which is separate from your organization's standard fund account. Contact Arcelia Rodriguez at arodriguez@scu.edu to request a balance of your organization's gift account.

A fund transfer is used whenever funds need to be transferred between a student organization and another student organization or a university department. The Center for Student Involvement (CSI) can assist with fund transfers.

• Contact CSI to request a fund transfer.
• The request should include the total amount to be transferred and the names of the student organizations and/or university departments involved in the transfer (i.e. transfer $X from entity A to entity B).

Contact your CSI advisor to assist your student organization with making a fund transfer.

Student organizations have different accounts that the Center for Student Involvement (CSI) manages and tracks.

Student organizations that are planning trips to other countries must have their travel reviewed and approved at least 8 weeks prior to departure. Review and approval is by the SCU Travel Policy Advisory Committee (TPAC).

SCU does not support University-sponsored travel to countries with certain travel restrictions placed upon them by the U.S. Department of State or other regulatory entities due to significant issues of safety, health, and/or legal risk due to factors such as natural disasters, political strife, crime, and health conditions.

• Contact Tedd Vanadilok at tvanadilok@scu.edu to start the review process.
• Learn the full process to get international travel reviewed and approved.

Student organizations may now use a travel agency called Lucid Travel to book airfare and hotel rooms, then have all costs deducted directly from their fund accounts.

Go to the Lucid Travel student portal to get started and view a tutorial view if needed.

• Student portal: https://scu.lucidhotels.us/
• Tutorial video

After your student organization submits a reservation for airfare and/or hotel rooms, your CSI advisor will automatically receive an email to review it for approval. One factor for approval is ensuring that your organization has sufficient funding to cover the total cost.

Note: When selecting a hotel, be sure that the hotel allows for those younger than 21 years of age to not only be able to check into the hotel but also stay in the room(s).

The Center for Student Involvement (CSI) manages a fleet of 6 vans that student organizations may use for off-campus trips and activities. Each van is a Toyota Sienna and seats up to 8 people including the driver.

SCCAP and Into the Wild have first priority so it is important to note that reservation requests do not guarantee that we will have vans available for the dates you need so be prepared for alternate transportation if we are not able to fulfill your request.

• Email scuvans@scu.edu to submit a reservation request for vans.
• Learn more about the van fleet and how to submit a reservation request.

Student organizations are encouraged to use Zipcar for their transportation needs to travel off campus. The university has many Zipcars conveniently parked and available on campus.

Getting started:

• Contact Tedd Vanadilok at tvanadilok@scu.edu after reviewing these steps to get started.
• Getting started includes creating your Zipcar account and linking your account to the Center for Student Involvement (CSI) account so any vehicle rentals are charged to your student organization and not to you personally.
• The annual $35 account fee per driver will be covered by your student organization as long as the reservations are made for use by your student organization and not for personal use.
• All other Zipcar charges are covered by your student organization or other SCU funding source.

Zipcards vs mobile app:

• Zipcar is phasing out Zipcards since their technology allows any Zipcar vehicle to be operated using the company's mobile app.
• Anyone with a Zipcar membership who already has a Zipcard can continue using the card if they wish; the Zipcard will still work.
• Zipcar vehicles can be unlocked and locked with the mobile app.
• In the event that there is no cell phone service, the mobile app can still be used to unlock and lock the vehicle using the Bluetooth option to connect.

Domestic and international travel are permitted as long as all country, state, county, local authority, and host site regulations are complied with. It is your student organization's responsibility to learn, understand, and comply with these regulations.

• The student may sign the house agreement then submit a copy of it to Tedd Vanadilok at tvanadilok@scu.edu, but he does not need to sign it since full responsibility will be on the student.
• The student also must pay the total cost out of pocket first.
