What is our attendance policy?

If the SCC rep/President attends every SCC/President meeting for the year, the club receives ten points for attendance. If someone other than the SCC rep/President attends a meeting, the club receives a "sliding scale" of points dependent upon the number of meetings missed. Five points are allocated if a club has a "substitute" at two meetings per year. If there is no representative of the club at a meeting, or if more than two meetings are "substituted for, the club receives no points. If the SCC rep/President knows at the beginning of the semester that they have class conflicts during meeting times, they must delegate a substitute who is responsible for attending each meeting respectively.

What is our disposable item policy?

All money spent with SGA allocations or spent in the name of a sport club becomes the property of JMU. However, once a semester, a club may purchase disposable items, which may be kept by the club members. Disposable items are classified as short-sleeved t-shirts, socks, hats, headbands, etc. which cost up to $10.00. If the item costs more than $10.00, a club may use SGA/fundraising money to cover $10.00 of the expense and the members can pay the remaining costs. Other items may be classified as disposable and may be presented to the Sports Club Council Exec board who will determine if it is a disposable time and a club member may keep the item.
