The Club Room is not meant to store SWAG long term. Any items outside of your bin (cardboard boxes, bags, additional bins) will be removed/discarded/donated. The Student Life team will begin cleanout the week of May 19th.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Does Your Club Have Pending Refunds?

We've noticed that some clubs have pending refunds sitting in their "Money" tab on SloanGroups - please check so that you do not have students waiting on refunds!

If you are unsure of how to approve or initiate a refund in SloanGroups, you can reference the instructional videos linked at the bottom of this page.
