ASI Club Account Form (CAF)

Any recognized student club that intends to transact any form of financial business must do so through an ASI Club Account. AFTER your club registration is approved in Hornet Hub, you will start the ASI Club Account Form (CAF) in Acrobat Sign. The steps are as follows:

• One approved officer will visit the SA Workflow Website. Select “ASI Club Agreement Form” from the dropdown. They will fill in all of the approved officers information and your Faculty/Staff advisor's information.
• That will then prompt the email workflow which sends the form for signature in the following order: Treasurer > President > additional officers (if applicable) > Faculty/Staff advisor > then SO&L. If one person in that flow does not sign, the form will not progress forward. To see where the form is stuck in the Adobe Sign process, visit Adobe Acrobat and sign in with your campus email. On the left, you should see “In Progress” (select on the form you need to check on and to the right it will pop up who has or has not signed) and forms that are “Waiting on You” (meaning you need to sign).
• SO&L is the final formal reviewer. If the club was not already been approved or there are errors, the form will have to be re-started completely, so please be sure that it is completed correctly. Common errors include:
  • Submitting before your club registration was approved
  • The individuals listed do not match your approved registration (this also includes misspelled names, emails, phone numbers)
  • If you only have two officers, please select NO for the co-signer question.
• The form then goes to ASI who will accept it and your club will receive notification that the Adobe Sign process was completed, which will give you access to the club’s account. If you do not have this notification, then the form is likely sitting in the email of one of the signers waiting on them to do their part. Again, to see where the form is stuck in the Adobe Sign process, visit Adobe Acrobat and sign in with your campus email. On the left, you should see “In Progress” (select the form you need to check on and to the right it will pop up who has or has not signed) and forms that are “Waiting on You” (meaning you need to sign).

The ASI Club Account Form does not have a connection to SO&L Organization Registration deadlines. You simply cannot begin it until your registration with SO&L is approved. Please direct any questions about the club banking process to ASI Accounting Services.

Fundraising

On-Campus

A fundraising event is defined as an activity where admission is charged, donations are required or actively solicited, sales take place, or other financial consideration is accrued by the sponsoring organization. All student organizations must submit a Request to Raise Funds on-campus form to Student Organizations & Leadership at least two weeks prior and receive written approval prior to using any University or campus auxiliary facilities for a fundraising event.

All fundraising policies and procedures can be found in the Student Organization Handbook

Off-Campus

Many clubs host fundraisers off-campus at local businesses and restaurants. Should the business request information about a student organization for the fundraiser, please note clubs do not have tax exemption, and therefore we are not able to provide a tax ID number for you. While recognized student organizations are not non-profits, some businesses will accept a formal letter from the campus indicating you are a not-for-profit student club recognized at Sacramento State in order for you to host your fundraiser.

Please contact your SO&L advisor or call 916-278-6595 to request this letter for your club.
