Financial Resources

Strong financial management is vital to an organization's success. The Student Center is here to provide information, resources, templates and trainings to help your organization reach its financial objectives while being fiscally responsible. Our office follows the policies and procedures set forth by Rice University. Compliance with basic financial policies and procedures designed to promote responsible financial management is a requirement for student org registration with the Student Center and the University.

If your organization has a financial account under the Student Center and you have questions about the following topics, complete the Finance Training in Canvas to learn more.

The Student Organization Finance Training is not a required step for becoming a registered org through the Student Center. However, it is mandatory if your org has a C-Fund (Club Fund), checks out p-cards with the Student Center, or would like to receive SAPP Funding.

Registered organizations under the Office of Access and Institutional Excellence and Club Sports receive finance training from those offices and should contact the associated contacts to receive more information about those trainings.
