Account Activation Process

Any student organizations seeking grant funding will need to make sure that they have activated an account with ASUCR. The process is the same as account activations for student organization allocations but requires a grant application. The account activation process is outlined below and the grant application and specific restrictions follow. 

• Step 1: Ensure your organization is registered with Student Life

  The first step in account activation is ensuring that your organization is registered with Student Life. Please view instructions for registering your org with Student Life here. As a refresher, feel free to view the presentations below to familiarize yourself with the ASUCR Office of Finance.

  Take the Authorized Signers Test - be sure to enter your first and last name when you log in. Signers must pass with an 80%. You may take the test as many times as needed to pass with 80% or higher.

  • A minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3 officers must complete the test. (Officers usually consist of the President, the VP, and/or the Treasurer. All signers must be current undergraduate students. These individuals are known as the Authorized Signers).
• Step 3: Authorization Signers Form

  Once all Authorized Signers (2-3) for an organization have completed the test, please complete the Authorized Signers Form.  
  Returning organizations have already been loaded into the form and you will need to select your respective organization. New organizations will select "Organization Not Listed" and you will have a field to add your organization name.
