• All costs for an event should be included on the form (room, catering, promotional items, etc.)
• Confirm funds requested match supporting documents.
• Product requests require an estimate and itemized list.
• Include agenda, flier, invitation, or event announcement and for smaller events, a list of attendees and their affiliation to the university (student, employee, etc.). Dates must match request.
