United Students Government (USG)

As a USG Organization you must submit every meeting and activity you are planning for approval through the Bengal Connect website. You will have to be a member of your organization on Bengal Connect with the proper authorization to access the active functions on your group's page. You will use the CREATE EVENT form to register your event at least a month prior to the activity and before any requisitions are submitted.

To Register an Event: Sign in to www.bengalconnect.com using your Buffalo State username and password; go to your organization’s page and then:

• Click in the blue MANAGE ORGANIZATION link in the upper right corner.
• Open the Organization Menu on the "Action Center" page. (The link is three horizontal bars next to the organization name on the upper left.)
• In the menu, click on EVENTS and then look for the + CREATE EVENT link in the upper right.

Follow the instructions and give complete information – incomplete submissions will be held up and not approved pending complete information. You will receive confirmation of the event approval through Bengal Connect. Once approved the event will appear on your organization’s Events Calendar as well as the main Bengal Connect Events Calendar. 

If You Need to Change Something: If any details pertaining to your event change please make the changes on your Bengal Connect event submission and resubmit for further approval:

• Any change to an event already submitted must be done by the individual who made the original submission.
• To update an event you have already submitted, sign in on Bengal Connect and click on your name in the upper right corner. Your Account menu will open.
• Select the the Submissions link and then the EVENTS tab at the top of the page that opens up. All of the submissions you have created will be listed on this page, just click the one you need to update.

Once your organization has reserved space on campus for your activity and created the event on Bengal Connect, your organization treasurer can submit requisitions to start purchasing supplies and services for the activity.
