20 Understanding Internal Sponsorship
REQUIRED READING
Occasionally the Student Association will receive funding requests from internal campus committees, academic departments and/or service areas to sponsor or co-sponsor events, activities, programs and/or services for students.
Eligible & Ineligible Items
The Internal Sponsorship Policy outlines the items that are eligible as well as items that are ineligible for this type of sponsorship, as shown in the graphic below.
| ELIGIBLE | INELIGIBLE |
|---|---|
| Awareness programs | Mandatory program cost |
| Learning supports | Past events or activities |
| Orientation programs | Initiatives already funded by the SA |
| On campus events | Cost overruns and unforeseen expenses |
| Student support services, | Charitable donations |
| Student wellness initiatives | Gas for carpooling in personal vehicles |
| Student recognition activities or gifts. | Activities that may jeopardize the SA's standing with NSCC (alcohol, canabis) |
Legitimacy & Validation of Internal Sponsorship Requests
The policy clearly states that all internal requests should be made through the request form in the policy document. Please re-direct any staff or faculty who approach you directly to the request form linked above.
Staff and Faculty are first encouraged to reach out to the NSCC Foundation and other related departments prior to seeking funding from the Student Association.
Student Life will receive and review the request to ensure it meets the eligibility requirements, and will then forward the request via email to the respective Student Association email, copying the VP Finance and President on the request.
VP Finances should proceed with the review meeting, and may ask the requestor to attend the Students' Council meeting where the request is being brought to a vote.
Timeframe for Requests
Similar to student funding requests, the deadline for submissions is no later than 2 weeks prior to the event or activity, and no requests will be accepted past April 1st.
