Each student organization has a Bellin College account. With this account each organization receives a check book and uses the Bellin College tax ID number. Managing an account and a budget can sometimes be difficult. It is highly encouraged to receive help or advise from the Vice President of Business and Finance.
Student organizations have a bank account for the student organization. However, students may not sign checks. All checks are to be signed either by the Vice President of Business and Finance or the College President.
