STUDENT ORGANIZATION REGISTRATION RENEWALS
Renewal forms were sent out last week via campus mail. All student organizations must fill out, sign, and return their form prior to September 23rd to remain active on campus. Groups failing to turn in their renewal forms will become inactive and lose all university privileges, such as: segregated fee funding, room reservations, office space, etc. The form is required, even if you turned in a change of officer form in the summer. We encourage people to get them in sooner, so that new students can be given more accurate information about clubs and groups on campus. Please check with all your officers to make sure someone turns in this form by the posted deadline.

STUDENT ORGANIZATION FAIR
The annual Party with the Panther event will be held Wednesday, September 7, 2005 in Spaights Plaza from 11 am to 3 pm.

If you have not signed up your group and would like to attend, send an email to activities@uwm.edu (There are only a couple spaces left). If you are no longer planning attend and have a table assignment, please email activities@uwm.edu.edu to cancel so we may assign the space to someone else. Open tables at 11:00 am on that day will be given to organizations on the waiting list.

The most up-to-date information on SAC can be found at: http://www.uwm.edu/Dept/SOAR/Finance/SAC/SACForms.html

CONTRACTS ARE NOT TO BE SIGNED BY STUDENTS
If are planning to use any money given to your group through segregated fees (SAC, check-off, or SFC) please see a Student Activities Advisor prior to making any arrangement with a speaker, band, DJ, hotel, or any other person that is requiring you to sign a contract. If money from your Student Activities account will be used to pay a portion or the entire contract, the UWM purchasing department staff are the only individuals allowed to sign the contract. IT TAKES 32 DAYS to process a contract, so if you are planning an event, YOU MUST ALLOW ENOUGH TIME time for the contract to be processed or segregated fees can not be used.
