Budgeted student organizations = two (2) Supplementals per term. SGA affiliated organizations = one (1) Supplemental per term (unless FAC Policy strictly forbids it).

The budgets established are student organization budgets as well as the SGA annual budget A Budget Change Request is... a piece of legislation that allows a student group to move around money within their budget.
