      • Important Update: All student organizations applying for or receiving Annual Funding or Special Allocations for the upcoming year are now required to have an On-Campus Student Org Account.
      • Additionally, new student organizations are strongly encouraged to open an On-Campus Account rather than using a bank account, which poses greater risks to your funds. If your organization currently uses a bank account, we recommend closing it and depositing all funds into a new On-Campus Account.
