Vice President of Finance: Cian Moss
“At the heart of Boston University are its student organizations and campus involvement. As Vice President of Finance, I am committed to ensuring transparency in the Allocations Board process and serving as a voice for students amid university-wide funding challenges. Affordability remains one of our administration's top priorities. Living on a city campus is expensive, and we continue to advocate for initiatives such as a comprehensive student transportation pass while increasing financial transparency in the housing selection process. Through Student Government, we are committed to ensuring every student has the opportunity to become the best version of themselves, step by step, with as few financial barriers as possible.”

Finances FY 26-27
All Student Government financial information can be found below. Student Government, the Campus Activities Board, and the various College Governments receive funding through the Community Service Fee (CSF), which is paid by undergraduate students each semester as part of their tuition. The financial information displayed on this page reflects only the accounts and allocations managed by Student Government. Additional CSF-funded organizations include the Allocations Board, Residence Hall Association, and other student-serving entities across the university.
Within Student Government, funding is distributed across its three branches and supporting operations. The primary Student Government budget is divided among the Executive Board, Vice President of Internal Affairs, Cabinet Departments, General Senate Ledger, Senate Committees, Judicial Commission, and Student Elections Commission to support programming, advocacy, operations, and student engagement initiatives throughout the academic year. While it is a cabinet department, the Campus Activities Board retains its own budget due to sheer programming, this includes Splash, Weeks of Welcome, Senior Week, RhettRockz and more. College governments receive their budgets through the senate Finance Committee (FineCo) who oversees the financing of these bodies.
Because these funds come directly from students, they are reinvested directly into the undergraduate experience through events, programs, services, and initiatives that benefit the student body. From signature traditions such as RhettRockz and Weeks of Welcome to campus-wide programming and student advocacy efforts, these resources are intended to enhance student life and ensure that student dollars are returned to students in meaningful ways. Each spring, representatives from each body within the CSF come together to draft a recommendation to the Board of Trustees on how the CSF should be split for the following year.
