FAQs
How much money can my organization request?
Organizations can request up to $10,000 per fiscal year.
Can I request funds in the Fall for events happening in the Spring?
Yes, you can. The funds will be drawn from the Spring budget.
What is considered a Program, Conference, or Tournament?
Program: Any on-campus event, including tournaments and conferences held at the university.
Tournament: A competitive event with another group, including research conferences where USC teams
are presenting. Only travel, lodging, and registration fees are covered, capped at
$6,000 per Tournament per organization.
Conference: A professional gathering where experts share knowledge. Only lodging and registration
fees are covered, capped at $3,000 per Conference per organization.
How do I get reimbursed for an event?
Contact your comptroller or email SASGTREA@mailbox.sc.edu. Once we receive all necessary information, reimbursement processing takes about 1 to 4 business weeks. For Tournaments or Conferences we require a TA to be filled out in advance.
What is a TA and TRV?
Travel Authorization (TA): A form that must be filled out before attending a conference or tournament, listing
all attendees and estimated costs.
Travel Reimbursement Voucher (TRV): A form used to get reimbursed after the event. It must be completed within 10 University
Days of the event and include all receipts and attendee details.
Do I need a bank account set up for my organization before requesting funds?
No, you don’t. Reimbursements are made directly to the individuals who paid for the items.
Can I get funds paid out before an event?
Generally, we only provide reimbursements. However, some University Vendors can be paid directly without requiring out-of-pocket expenses from students.
How do I find out who my Comptroller is?
If you attended a Treasurer’s Workshop but didn’t receive an email about your comptroller assignment, contact SASGTREA@mailbox.sc.edu as soon as possible.
What counts as a University Day?
University Days are days when the university is open during the fall and spring semesters, excluding weekends, holidays, and student breaks.
