Thank you for attending the recent Student Organization Funding Agency (SOFA) meeting. Now that SOFA has approved an allocation of money for your student organization, there are several steps necessary to ensure that your organization receives that money into its UND Student Organization on-campus account.
After your organization completes its travel, program, equipment, publication, or operations purchases for which you have been approved, complete your post report and submit expenses.
REMINDER: A post report is due 30 days after your travel, program, operations, or equipment purchase.
1. Keep and make copies of ALL your expenses
- Scall all your expenses and receipts into one PDF, if possible. Receipts can be emailed or dropped off at the Student Involvment Office (Memorial Union 144) ONLY if they cannot be attached to the post report
- If you are submitting a travel post report, make sure to include the students' ID numbers that traveled to the event!
2. Your post report will need to be completed online
