Reimbursements
In order to submit a reimbursement request, you must be authorized to do so. Please ensure that the cashier and the finance department have a current election protocol (max. 1 year old) showing that you are responsible for the finances of a student council or an autonomous department.
Detailed requirements for receipts can be obtained from the finance officer at any time. As a general rule, each receipt must be signed individually and labeled with the budget title to be settled. In any case, the application for reimbursement must be submitted as a cover sheet. There is a separate cover sheet for travel expenses.

Funding applications
Projects or events organized by student groups can be funded by the AStA if they directly benefit students at the University of Cologne. The AStA assembly decides on funding every Tuesday.
A completed funding application must be sent to the finance officer at least two weeks before the event and no later than 48 hours before the AStA assembly meeting. The project must be described in as much detail as possible and the financing plan must be specified.

Budget plans
The student body draws up its budget once a year. The budget is approved by the student parliament. This sets out all planned income and expenditure for the financial year, which always runs from April 1 to March 31 of the following year.
