Refunds of monies lost in vending machines can occur in one of two ways. The first way is to visit the Student Activities office and ask for a refund. The second way is to provide the requested information on a refund envelope that can be found on top of some vending machines. Vending personnel will pick up the refund envelopes; the refunds will be inserted and the refund envelopes will be dropped off at the Security Office within a week. Students can then claim their refund at the Security Office or Student Activities office.
Fundraising
Student organizations may conduct fundraisers with the approval of the club advisor, club leaders, and the Student Activities Coordinator. Fundraising events held on campus will be conducted in the student lounge in Martin Hall. The Student Activities Coordinator maintains a planning calendar for coordinating fundraising events held in the lounge. Usually, only one event per day is allowed, so that profits are maximized for the group efforts invested.
