ASMSU Business Office

Yes! ASMSU publishes an annual budget that shows:

• Total student fees collected
• How funds are allocated
• Spending by program and department
• Expected balances

ASMSU allocates student fees to support student organizations, events, and services that enhance the Montana State University student experience. These funds are used to directly benefit students through programming, leadership development, and campus engagement opportunities.

ASMSU follows MSU fiscal policies and state regulations, including budget oversight, approval processes, and regular financial reviews. Funding decisions are documented, and organizations are required to submit receipts and follow spending guidelines to ensure responsible use of student fees.

The ASMSU Business Office is available to help students and organizations understand funding options, application processes, and spending procedures. Training resources, guides, and contact information are available on the ASMSU website.
