Advisors
Each RSO must have a currently employed Juniata College faculty or staff member as an advisor. An advisor usually shares a genuine interest in the student organization’s purpose, lends support to the group, and challenges students to meet the educational mission of Juniata College. Student Leaders should use their advisors as a sounding board for ideas, as people knowledgeable of college policies, as sources of organizational continuity, and as professional resources.
Expectations of Advisors
- Develop solid relationships with the executive board members.
- Serve as a resource for students on College policies and other information pertinent to the individual organization.
- Support the members and the club's activities through attending meetings, events, and other functions whenever possible.
- Assist with maintaining accurate and fair practices regarding decisions and spending.
- Sign-off on all financial paperwork.
- Help improve individual and team leadership amongst the executive board and the members.
- Listen, motivate, challenge, support, and empower students.
If advisors have any questions, please contact our office at x3330.
Alcohol Policy

Budget
All student organizations have accounts through Juniata College. Student organizations may NOT have outside accounts (i.e., accounts at local banks).

Each treasurer will receive the organization's account number during Treasurers Training at the beginning of the new school year. When depositing or withdrawing money from the organization's account, the object codes are 4829 and 6199 respectively.
- The treasurer and the advisor serve as the organization's controllers/budget officers.
- All paperwork MUST have both of their signatures or the Director/Assistant Director of Student Activities for processing. Alternatively, the advisor may submit a dated email with specified use of funds as opposed to a signature.
- For a copy of the organization's budget please contact the Student Government Treasurer at StudGov@juniata.edu or the Office of Student Activities at osa@juniata.edu.
- On-campus charges (i.e. food services, vehicle usage, print shop, etc.) will be charged directly to the RSO's account.
- ALL RSOs, including JAB and Student Government classes, are required to turn in a detailed list of any person receiving a prize. Please complete the RSO Prize Sheet and send to both the Office of Students Activities and Barb Reck once the prizes have been given.
- RSOs are expected to keep accurate and ethical records of their financial matters. RSOs should be conscious about how they spend their money and be sure to end the year with a positive balance. RSOs will be randomly audited throughout the school year so records need to be up-to-date.
- PCards are the ideal way to make club transactions. PCard receipts must be turned in to the Office of Student Activities by 12:00 pm on the 28th of each month unless otherwise noted. Consequences for missing/late Pcard Receipts: 1st time - warning; 2nd time - Pcard will need to be turned into Barb Reck for the remainder of the school year.
Contracts
All RSO programs/events that have an outside individual or group coming to campus to perform, speak, DJ, etc. need to have the Juniata College contract submitted to that individual/organization by the Office of Student Activities. Also, all outside artists, vendors, etc. must have insurance. Please review the insurance requirements for external vendors. You must schedule a meeting with the Office of Student Activities at least four (4) weeks in advance of your event to complete all necessary paperwork and to insure that everything is in order.
All outside vendors and entertainers must complete a license to sell merchandise. This license is available at the Huntingdon County Courthouse.
Note: Students and Advisors are not allowed to sign contracts on behalf of the College for RSOs.
Purchases
For all purchases the treasurer must complete the appropriate accounting forms. The forms will require both the treasurer's and the advisor's signatures. Forms are located on both the Office of Student Activities and Student Government web pages as well as on the Student Activities pdrive. Click on the pdrive, select the Administration Folder, click on the Student Activities folder, click on RSO Information, then click on Forms.
All purchases are tax exempt. Please make sure to use the grey Wal-mart tax exempt card when making purchases at Wal-mart or notify the cashier at other merchants that Juniata College is tax exempt. The Juniata College tax exempt number is located on the purchasing card. If you need a tax exempt form for making purchases for your RSO you can obtain this form from Barb Reck in Account Services or from the Office of Student Activities during normal business hours, Monday-Friday. Sales tax will not be reimbursed.
Receipts, contracts, and invoices must be kept for all purchases. Organizations should make copies of their receipts for their own records. RSOs will be randomly audited throughout the school year.
Different options for organizations to make purchases/payments:
- Purchasing Cards (PCard): PCards are the ideal way for RSOs to make transactions. An organization may receive a PCard by having at least $800.00 in their RSO account at the start of the school year, successfully complete Treasurers Training, and completing the appropriate paperwork with Barb Reck in Account Services. PCards must be reconciled and the original receipts (with the advisor’s and treasurer’s signatures) MUST be turned in to the Office of Student Activities by 12:00 p.m. on the 28th of each month unless otherwise noted. Consequences for missing/late Pcard Receipts: 1st time - warning; 2nd time - Pcard will need to be turned into Barb Reck for the remainder of the school year.
- Purchase Orders (P.O.): Purchase Orders should be used when companies do not take a PCard or check. For a P.O. complete the Purchase Requisition Form and take it to Barb Reck in Accounting Services. Barb will provide you with a P.O. number for the company you are purchasing from.
- Reimbursing a member's personal money: If a member of your RSO does not have the RSO PCard, reimbursement of an individual's personal money is the next simplest method of payment options. Complete the Cash Reimbursement Form when a member of the organization uses his or her own money for a purchase under $100.00 and submit to the Bursar's Office in Founders Hall. Please complete an Accounts Payable Form for reimbursements over $100.00 and submit to the Bursar's Office in Founders Hall.
- Advances: Cash and check advances provide RSOs with cash without dipping into any member's personal monies. Cash advances should be used for trips and purchases when a PCard is not available. Cash Advance Forms may be used for purchases. Complete the Cash Advance Form and take it to the Bursar's Office in Founders Hall. After making the purchase, bring the receipts, the unspent money, and a Cash Advance Clear Form back to the Bursar's Office to be re-deposited. This must occur within one week of receiving the cash advance.
- Accounts Payable Vouchers: This option should be used when paying entertainers or companies a pre-arranged price. Complete the Accounts Payable Form as well as a W-9 form and return it along with the contract to Barb Reck in Accounts Payable by noon on Tuesdays. Unless specified, checks will be mailed after the check is processed.
Note: When paying students for services (for example, WKVR's DJs), the student MUST receive his or her check through payroll and be paid on an hourly basis.
Deposits
For all deposits, the organization must complete a Deposit Form. Forms must be signed by the treasurer and taken to Bursar's Office in Founders Hall.
Movie Policy
Under the U.S. Copyright Act, Public Law 94-553, Title 17 of the United States Code, Section 106 "the copyright owner has the exclusive right, to perform the copyrighted work publicly." Hence, RSOs wishing to show a copyright motion picture or audiovisual must acquire a license.
To discuss the licensing process, please schedule a meeting with the Office of Student Activities.
Educational exemption is only for copyrighted materials for a class AND as part of a set curriculum. Having a discussion about the film does not fall under this exemption. If an RSO would want to show an educational movie, it would have to be in one of their residence hall rooms and not in a public place like a residence hall lounge, classroom, etc.
Organization Registration
Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) must complete the registration process annually and meet the following criteria:

- Must have a current Juniata College employee serve as an advisor.
- Must designate a student as President and Treasurer whom are required to attend the scheduled trainings throughout the school year. If an RSO forms after the start of the school year, those members will need to complete the online RSO Re-registration form and wait for the paperwork to be processed by Student Government.
To start new organizations please complete the online New RSO Application. The Director of Student Activities will review the request from a liability perspective, and after the Director signs off on the form, the form is given to Student Government for final review and approval. Once Student Government approves the RSO, the RSO is notified and training will be scheduled with the Student Government Treasurer or Office of Student Activities.
