contact your advisor in the Center for Student Programming (CSP), at 105

program. The total cost of the program must be requested from CPC Mini
Fund and no other source.

during the academic year, except in the case of organizations directly
affiliated with departments using the semester system. Such organizations
may be funded twice in 1 out of the 2 semesters, and a maximum of 3
times per academic year.
Note: The program funded must take place within the quarter that the
allocation has been given.
4. Organizations or groups eligible for the Regular Fund are also eligible for
the Mini Fund. It is your responsibility to review the eligibility policies.
5. Mini Fund hearings are held once each week from the 2nd week through
the 8th week of each quarter.
6. All proposals MUST be typewritten.
7. Three (3) copies of each proposal are required.

programs obtaining money from CPC. These guidelines are explained in
detail in the Campus Program Committee Proposal Guidelines and are
available from the CPC Office.

CPC policy states that advertising will not be funded retroactively! Your
program will not be able to receive funding for any ads whose deadlines
are prior to the day you receive your funding allocation results.
NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE GRANTED!
