General Student Services Fund Prohibited Expenses

Last updated 5/28/2026

GSSF budgets cannot be used to cover personal expenses or items that appear personal in nature.

These will be denied by the GSSF Program Specialist, even if they are approved by the SSFC.
Some examples include:
  • Lotion
  • Medicine
  • Coffee, coffee makers, coffee mugs (unless they are promotional items to be given out to promote your organization)
  • Room heaters/space heaters
  • Thank-you cards
  • Items which do not fall under general office supplies
  • Academic supplies (calculators, textbooks, etc.)
Please discuss all planned purchases with the GSSF Program Specialist prior to spending money, as prohibited expenditures will not be reimbursed.
