What are the budget and financial allocations of PGSG?
The PGSG budget is derived from Graduate Student Activity Fees. The budget for any given school year is approved by our Senate at the end of the prior spring semester. We strive to achieve transparency in our operations, and we maintain an open access web version of our budget since 2014 as well as the most recent Financial Handbook (starting 2017). Our PGSG Treasurer can answer questions regarding the financial operations of PGSG.
