The Stamp Student Union is a self-support unit on campus. This means that the department is responsible for generating revenues, and all revenues are applied back to the cost of operating the department. No general funds from the University are used to support the Stamp except for some functions in the Office of Campus Programs. Funding for the Stamp comes from four sources: student fees, revenue from room reservations, facility rent from various tenants, and revenue-generating services and programs within the facility.
The amount of student fees paid to support the Stamp in FY 2006-07 is $260.70 per year for full-time undergraduate students. This fee (along with fees to support the Athletic Department, Campus Recreation Services and the Golf Course, Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center, Nyumburu Cultural Center, and the ShuttleUM) is paid as part of the registration process.
Rooms are provided at no charge to student organizations in support of their routine organizational meetings. Rates vary for the use of rooms for other purposes according to the size and other features of the specific facility. Student organizations and University departments are given a discounted rate for all spaces in the Stamp.
McDonald’s, Panda Express, Mail Boxes, Etc., Media Express, Maryland Food Coop, Chevy Chase Bank, University Book Center, and Dining Services Operations are independent operations located in the Stamp. Each of these retail outlets pays rent to the Stamp for use of their space. Administrative units not supported by the Stamp fee also pay rent for their office space.
Revenues from Hoff Theater admissions, sales in the Ticket Office, bowling and billiards fees, and other activities in the Stamp also generate revenue for the department.
The revenues are all applied to the operation of the Stamp. This includes staff salaries and benefits, housekeeping and maintenance costs, utilities, costs associated with programs and services offered, marketing, and renovation costs. The largest single expense is for the repayment of the debt incurred for the renovation underway in the Stamp.

Is this the Administrative Office for the campus?
No, this is the Administrative Office for the Stamp Student Union only. In general, the Administrative Office provides direction and support for all Union and Campus Programs units. The work of the Administrative Office is guided by the advice of the Stamp Advisory Board, a student, faculty, staff, alumni group that represents the campus community on matters of policy, budget, programs, and service offerings and ensures that the department’s responsibilities to the community are met.
The business staff members provide general budgeting and accounting support for the department. The human resources staff members provide personnel services, recruitment and employment services, and payroll and benefit support for staff members in the department. In addition, IT Support, which is also linked with the Administrative Office, provides information technology hardware, network support, and consultation to all users in the department.

The University of Maryland Calendar has up to date listings of current campus events. If you are hosting a campus event, you may also submit information online to be published on the calendar.
Where do I find information about programming policies?
The Office of Campus Programs assists members of the campus community in planning successful events and programs that are consistent with University policies and designed to facilitate the event management process and to ensure the safety and well being of the members of the campus community. The policies listed in the Event Management Handbook define guidelines necessary to improve student organization planning as well as the quality of campus programs and events. The University of Maryland at College Park prides itself on establishing, maintaining, and encouraging a rich array of co-curricular activities. Higher education encompasses experiences both in and out of the classroom. Helping students get involved in the life of the University as spectators, participants and leaders is the mission of the Stamp Student Union and Campus Programs. We encourage organizations to develop events that enhance a sense of community, appreciate diversity and honor tradition. We hope that your experiences with planning and participating in co-curricular activities are enjoyable and rewarding.
