    • TOWNHALLS: At least twice a month, TSG will hold Town Hall meetings. Each organization is required to attend at least 6/10 of these meetings per semester. Town Halls will be on Monday’s or Wednesday’s from 4:00PM to 5:00PM. Although attendance at Town Hall’s is part of the attendance requirement, it is separate from the TSG Newsletter. The TSG Newsletter MUST be filled out each week. If there are concerns surrounding your organization’s ability to attend the Town Hall’s please email tsgabc@temple.edu by 4PM on the day of the Town Hall, including a valid reason that your organization cannot attend. By doing so, you will be able to watch the recorded Town Hall and fill out a google form to still receive credit.

      • If your organization emails us after 4PM on the day of the Town Hall, you will not be able to receive credit for the missed Town Hall.

    • NEWSLETTER: The TSG Newsletter will be sent out to all officers listed on your organizations Owl Connect. To complete attendance, read the newsletter, scroll to the bottom to find the attendance link, and then answer the questions about the newsletter content. The newsletter will be sent out each Wednesday and attendance is due the following Tuesday at 5 pm.

    • How much funding do we have per semester/year?

      • 1 STAR orgs can request up to $500/semester. 2 STAR and above orgs can request up to $2,500/semester. Your available balance is viewable at any time in Owl Connect. This amount is renewed each semester and your Fall semester funding does not carry over into your Spring semester.

    • Allocations will deny all merchandise requests. However, allocations will approve team gear, costumes, or uniforms on a case by case basis. Please see the updated guidelines for the approved vendors you must use. The typical exception to this rule is dance organizations purchasing costumes. If necessary, please see the Allocations guidelines for more details.

    • Organizations can request up to $500/semester to cover transportation expenses. Transportation methods must have a clearly communicated departure and arrival location to comply with Temple University payment procedures. Organizations requesting funds for traveling outside the city limits of Philadelphia must follow the Student Organization Travel Policy by submitting a Student Organization Travel Form to Student Activities two weeks prior to departure. If necessary, please see the Allocations guidelines for more details.
