The SGA Student Business Office provides banking operations and account oversight, as well as training, to MHC's 130+ recognized student groups and all residential halls. This includes utilizing Embark to:

• Request payments and reimbursements
• Process transfers
• Make deposits
• Process credit card orders
• Process campus bill payments

The Business Office is not SGA Ways & Means. Ways & Means is an autonomous SGA Committee that evaluates student group funding applications and allocates money.

The SGA Business Office is part of the Office of Student Involvement. The Office manages the Ways & Means funding to groups.

For questions about budget creation & funding, please contact SGA Ways & Means.

The office is overseen by the SGA Student Business Office Coordinator (Kimberly Lavoie) with support from student bookkeepers and Financial Services.

The Business Office has limited hours. Please note, if you email us your email will be responded to during our open hours.
