General Programing Requests

Section E.C.I.d of the SUA Bylaws establishes a process for any member of the Assembly to request funds from the General Programming line item.

SUA will not hear General Programming requests for Spring 2019; all requests will be heard through SOFA.

Questions may be sent to the SUA Parlimentarian at suaparli@ucsc.edu
