Welcome to the 2008 ASSU Special Fees Information Site. This site serves as a resource for navigating the ASSU Special Fees process. Please refer to it early and often. Contact Jeff Lock, ASSU Funding Coordinator, with ANY questions you may have regarding the process.

The Special Fees process is rather involved, and as such, requires careful reading of all documents. Please review this site before completing your application. This site contains all the forms necessary to participate in the Special Fees funding process.

What are Special Fees?

ASSU Special Fees are an important funding source for registered student groups. It is a source geared toward requests that cannot be met (either due to policy or amount) by the General Fees appropriated by the Undergraduate Senate and Graduate Student Council throughout the year. Groups apply for Special Fees and are considered for placement on the Spring Election ballot to be voted upon by the student body. If a request receives enough votes, the funding is collected from students quarterly through the ASSU Fee on their University Bill and distributed to the group for their operation expenses in accordance with the reviewed budget.
