FAQs

Sponsorship requests go through a staged review process managed by the U Card Office. Each application is reviewed by a U Card Office Representative and a representative from Student Affairs or Auxiliary Services depending on the request type.

Student groups, campus life organizations, and university departments that meet the requirements are eligible to apply.

Applications are approved and denied for a variety of reasons at the discretion of both University of Minnesota and Huntington Bank. The reason for your denial will be in the denial email that was sent to you. Common reasons for denial are:

• Event takes place off of University property
• Event poses a risk to the public or participants
• Incomplete application
• Funding has been exhausted

Filling out your application should take 10-20 minutes. From there, your application will be reviewed and approved/denied. It is estimated that your group will receive a decision within 3 weeks.

Sponsorship funds are sent from the University's central finance office and generally arrive within three weeks after you receive your application approval decision.

If your funds have not been received by the time your event takes place, use group funds for the event and the sponsorship check as a reimbursment. This is rare but does happen on occasion.
