Money Management
Money allows you to plan events. Many organizations on campus will give you money for this purpose (see 'FUNDRAISING' section); however, many of them require you to exercise some financial responsibility. That means, among other things, keeping your money in a reputable bank instead of hiding it under a rock. Two popular options are:
CEFCU account
The Caltech Employees Federal Credit Union provides savings accounts to many campus organizations. The minimum balance is $5, and the membership fee is $0.25. CEFCU does not offer checking accounts, but you can always get cashier's or normal checks at their office at 515 Wilson.
Campus Location: 515 S. Wilson Ave. Pasadena, CA.
Office Hours: Monday through Thursday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
and Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Telephone: x6300

Bursar's Office
"Banking" through the Bursar's office is free - there's no account activation fee and no minimum balance. You can request checks from them too, but processing takes 8-10 working days. You can obtain cash refunnds (maximum of $500 per day). Some offices, such as Student Affairs and Student Investment, will only transfer funds to a Bursar's account.
To open an account, you may send an email to Dimitris Sakellariou at dimitris@its and copy Judy Young at jyoung@its with the following information:
- Brief Description of Club
- List the people who will be financially responsible
- Name
- Address
- Telephone
- Name of club
- Purpose of club
Dimitris will then contact the Bursar's office with his approval.
Please remember to update your information with the Bursar's Office as club officers change.
