The Concert Committee (CC) is responsible for funding students and student groups who are planning concerts at Wesleyan.

The budget of the CC is drawn from the larger budget controlled by the SBC. This larger budget comes from the annual Student Activities Fee, which is included as part of tuition costs. Student groups that would like to come in to request funds from the CC must already be registered as an official active student group by COCo and must designate a financial contact.

Members of the CC are appointed at the beginning of each academic year to serve year-long terms. The Chair of the CC is appointed at the end of the academic year to serve a year-long term during the upcoming academic year.

Requesting Funds From the CC

1. Create a funding request form. Click on the “Request SBC Funding” link on the WSA homepage (listed under “Student Groups”) and log in to be taken to “WSA Tools and Applications” in your E-portfolio. There you will find the SBC Allocations tab, where you can choose to create or update a request form. You must submit your request through this online allocation system AT LEAST 14 days prior to your CC meeting in order to be eligible for funding.
   1. Note any amounts entered under “Additional Sources of Funding” or “Predicted Income”
   2. Click “SUBMIT to SBC” in green, when you are finished detailing your request.
   3. You can email individual members of the CC detailing the request if needed.
2. Sign up for a time slot to meet with the CC on the sign-up sheet in the WSA office.
   1. The CC meets with student groups on Sundays starting at 1:00pm in Usdan 114.
