Purchasing Rules
Items must be delivered to your event—no off-campus pick-ups unless you explain why it’s necessary (CU Denver staff will not pick up any items).
CU Denver doesn’t pay Colorado sales tax. Use the tax-exempt certificate or your items will not be bought. Tax-Exempt Information | University of Colorado
SGA will not buy goods or services if the vendor does not accept our tax-exempt status.
All purchases must follow the Green Procurement Policy.SGA Green Procurement Policy.docx
Request Categories

| Small | Under $500.00 | 3 weeks (21 days) before the event | Not required (unless requested) |
| Medium | $500.01 - $2,500.00 | 3 weeks (21 days) before event | Yes - to F&F Committee |
| Large | $2,500.01 - $5,000.00 | 6 weeks (42 days) before event | Yes - to SGA Senate |
Any request over $5,000 will be denied automatically.
Appeals Process
If your request is denied, or the amount is changed, you can appeal through the Judicial Committee.
Each appeal will be reviewed within 10 business days (Monday-Friday/8:00AM-5:00PM), and the final vote happens at SGA Senate meeting following the Judicial ruling.
Appeals must be submitted in writing to the Chief Justice via the designated email address or form listed here: [email protected]
For more information on appeals, please see the following document.
Important Reminder!
Remember: SGA funding comes from student fees, so events should benefit CU Denver students, not just your club.
If doing a presentation, we recommend using the following template, so all requested information is included.
You can find the committee rubrics here to better understand what is expected of your RSO’s request.
Check MyLynx and the email of the person submitting the request regularly for updates about your request.
