The ASUO Programs Finance Committee acts on all matters relating to the allocation of incidental fees to ASUO Programs for the purpose of recommending a budget to the Student Senate. The Committee is composed of three Finance Senators, two members elected at-large by the student body, one appointed by the ASUO President, and one appointed by the ASUO Programs Council. This budgeting process begins in the fall and ends with submission of an ASUO Programs recommended budget to the Student Senate in the spring

The ASUO Programs Finance Committee recommends funding for each program that submits a proposal for the following year. Groups wishing to be funded may submit a budget proposal according to the ASUO Programs Finance Committee's budgeting schedule, but such groups are not guaranteed funding. (Green Tape Notebook)

Mission Statement: The mission of the ASUO Programs Finance Committee (PFC) is to approve the allocation of incidental fees for each student incidental fee funded program and service whose allocation is not approved by the EMU Board or the ADFC.  PFC works with programs to ensure that they are educated in the requirements, and that acceptable budget proposals are submitted.  PFC conducts line item budget hearings for each program to guarantee that all budget proposals are held to the same standard and treated fairly.  The end result is for PFC to present a budget to the Student Senate that is acceptable and approved.

Goal Statement: To act on all matters relating to the allocation and appropriation of incidental fees to ASUO Programs for the purpose of recommending a budget to the Student Senate.
