Proposal to Utilize Academic Support Services Fee funds currently in savings
1. Proposed projects must contribute to the academic resources and/or educational environment at the Anschutz Medical Campus. This academic relevance must be described fully in the Project Overview.
2. Funding requests must address all points in the template on the following page. Incomplete requests will not be considered and may not be re-submitted during the current funding period.
3. Funding is considered ‘one time’ for a project determined to be outside the scope of the original Academic Support fee referendum.
4. Budgets must represent a realistic and true picture of what is needed for the project to succeed. Academic Support Services Fee funds should be used ‘last’ to ensure projects are completed with these funds. These funds are intended to be used for one-time projects and not for ongoing initiatives with recurring expenses. Submitted budgets should document all available and committed funds and their sources.
5. ASAC within its authority will determine the amount of funding, if any, is available for funding projects at any particular time.
6. The determination of whether a project will move forward in the proposal/funding process is within the purview of ASAC, AMC Administration, and/or AMC Student Senate. This determination is final.
7. ASAC may determine if projects will be fully or partially funded before forwarding to AMC Student Senate for final approval. (we discussed possible partial funding during last night’s meeting – I’ve added that here) I also re-ordered 6/7 to reflect a more true order of how things will progress in the process.
8. If the project is approved and funded by ASAC and AMC Student Senate, ASAC will retain the authority to remove project funds if at any time it is determined that any use does not match the purpose/budget as originally submitted in this request. The timeline for completing the project can be up to two years from the original ASAC / Senate funding approval.
9. Directors of approved projects will be expected to provide progress reports in person to ASAC during and at the conclusion of the project.
Questions regarding this proposal process may be directed to , Director of the Student Assistance Office, member of the Academic Support Advisory Committee.
Completed proposals are to be submitted to Regina Kilkenny, Co-Chair, Academic Support Advisory Committee. These may be dropped off at the Academic Resources & Services Office on the 5th Floor of the Education II North Building, Room 5101, delivered via post/campus email to 13120 East 19th Avenue, Campus Box A095, Aurora, CO 80045 or emailed to with the subject line “ASAC Proposal.”
