Business Forms

To ensure smooth transactions and proper accounting, there are several USG forms that you will use when spending the activity fee money in your organization’s budget. The basic forms are listed here (some have PDF links to a copy of the form; others must be picked up in the Business Office):

All purchases MUST be pre-approved and submitted one month / 30 business days prior to the event date. (PDF Copy)

The university and USG require that any time a student organization sponsors an event at a place where alcohol will be served the group must observe the campus Alcohol Policy. In some cases an Alcohol Authorization Request Form must be filed and approved by USG and the Dean of Students in advance of the event. This is an online form. A link to the form can be found at the Buffalo State Dean of Students website.

All vehicle rentals and hires are done through the USG Business Office. This form is for renting a car or van to be driven by a representative of your organization. (PDF Copy)
