Student organizations have access to resources that are beneficial to that organization.  Each organization will be allocated a line of credit worth $250.00 each year to be used on the following items. Only registered and Active organizations are eligible to use resources.

Students not involved in an organization are eligible to use the services provided by the Resource Room.  Individual students will not be given a line of credit. However, students will be able to purchase services and/or supplies from the Resource Room using the price values.
