Important Funds Transfer Information! In order to use as much of the Undergraduate Student Fee as possible, we take back any money that we have allocated but is not signed off 2 weeks after the last date of the event as written on the database. If the date changes or you need more time to fill out the paperwork, please let us know. Otherwise you will not have access to those funds!
The Allocations Board is an organization on BU’s campus tasked with distributing a portion of the Undergraduate Student Fee (USF) to on- and off-campus events held by undergraduate student organizations. The AB is composed entirely of undergraduates from across BU’s schools, residence halls, and student groups. Though each member attends every Monday night meeting and staffs the office, members receive no compensation other than the joy of subsidizing and encouraging great events.
We hope this site serves both as a resource to groups requesting funding and for students curious about how their USF is distributed, and how they can become involved in the process.
To submit a request for funding, you will need to access the AB Database. Just click the black and white logo to the right (or type in ab.bu.edu/db). For the link to load, you need to be using an on-campus connection or running the VPN. (The site is hosted on a secure BU server.) Your student group’s log-in is your SAO account number. That is also your default password. To amend a request or appeal a decision, you should email us.
Please contact us, either through this site or at allocate@bu.edu with any questions or concerns.
