The purpose of the Financial Affairs committee is to recommends to the SSA a plan for the annual distribution of the Allocable Segregated University Fees (ASUF) budget. The SSA is the Segregated University Fees Allocations Committee of the University of Wisconsin Stout. SSA, as the student governance body, is granted the responsibility for the disposition of allocable Segregated University Fees under Wisconsin Statue 36.09(5).
In order to receive funding, the student organization events must meet the mission of the University and the student organization. Above all, any sponsored event will be open and accessible to all students at the University of Wisconsin Stout, in order to receive funding.

Off-campus events that can be funded through the Allocated Segregated University Fee includes but are not limited to: competitions, tournaments, conferences, presentations, and honors/recognition.
As on-campus events are a priority, asking students to support the travel of other students is a rare and precious opportunity that comes with responsibility. Any travel supported must benefit more than just the indivdiual traveler. The FAC will determine each year the amounts and kinds of travel they will support each year.
The travel must benefit more than the traveler (not solely done for personal gain).
The travel must support the mission of the student org.
Organizations choose organization leaders to gain information in support of the improvement of their organization's mission to apply for funding each year.
If any traveler cannot keep the travel commitment for any reason and a reasonable subsitute cananot be found – the initial traveler will be personally responsible to reimburse SSA for any fees incurred and non-refundable.

Near the beginning of the academic year, the Director of Financial Affairs will notify all recognized student organizations of the budget timeline for the current year. The organizations will have a minimum of 3 weeks to submit their budget proposal through CONNECT. Student organizations must complete the following steps in order to have their proposals considered:
Submit the budget request by the deadline – no late budgets will be accepted.
Sign up for a budget eharing by the deadline – failure to sign up results in a denied budget request.
At least one member of the student organization will present the organization's budget proposal at the hearing, where the FAC can listen to details and ask specific questions.
As per Financial Policy Paper 50, all hearing will be recorded via videotape and/or audio tape for FAC purposes and review.

JIT funding is used if an organization or a member of an organization has an extraordinary need that arises outside the above funding processes. Funds for JIT events are pulled from contingency money and are therefore only funded if money is available. FAC can determine whether contingency rules will apply, on a case-by-case basis. In order for an event to qualify for Just in Time funds:
Note: No organization or individual shall be awarded more than 10% of the initial contingency funds in any fiscal year for a JIT request.
It must have been unforeseen at that time another budget process was open.
If the JIT request involves travel the group or individual must be invited to a state, regional or national event or receiving an award or presentation at a conference.
If an organization requests a reallocation of funds, approval will be at the discretion of the committee. Reallocation of funds from on-campus to off-campus events may be subject to a reduction fo the amount requested for reallocation. The reason this is that the Committee's priority is to fund on-campus events as they provide the most benefit to the students and to the university. If funds are not going to be used as originally intended, they are subject to the same limits as the other off campus events were subject to. The committee encourages the transfer of funds from off campus to on campus events. The process is listed below:
