+ What is the difference between being recognized by the Department of Student Engagement & Activities and USG?

Being recognized by the Department of Student Engagement & Activities (SEA) means you are considered a credible club by the University. This allows you to schedule spacing for holding general body meetings and events on campus. It also allows you to participate in the involvement fair held every semester. Being “acknowledged” by USG is what allows you to receive a budgetfor your club/organization. They are two different things because the Undergraduate Student Government is who allocates the funds to clubs and organizations. See below for the process on how to receive USG acknowledgement and funding.
