  • Budgets

    The Executive Board investigates, prepares, and approves the budget for the following fiscal year while administering, appropriating the current year’s funds.

    The budgeting process for the Rensselaer Union occurs every fall for the next fiscal year. Executive Board representatives meet with their respective clubs to guide them through the budgeting process and are charged with representing their clubs within the budgeting rooms. Alongside the club budgeting process, facilities and other administrative expenses are budgeted for the Union. All information is accounted for in the Union Annual Report, and ultimately the Executive Board recommends an amount for the Student Activity Fee, which is confirmed by the Student Senate.
