Your privacy comes first

  • Never used to train AI. Your chats are processed by our AI provider under terms that forbid training on them.
  • Only verified A.S. directors and the site admin will ever see what you submit for checking. No one else.
  • No student ID numbers, ever. Any email works; your SMC email is not required.

Directors' portal

For verified A.S. directors and the site admin: every pre-checked proposal, passed or not, in one transparent view.

Meeting alerts

An email when your proposal hits a Finance or Board agenda or is decided, plus ICC deadlines and A.S. vacancies.

Try it

Find the right form

Every official A.S. and ICC form in one place, with what it's for and when it's due.

Made for Club Row

Every club on the Quad has paperwork. Here's where it gets easier.

A guide, never a ghostwriter

Charter & Gavel explains every form and shows you complete examples for made-up clubs, but it will never fill in your real proposal. Your club's request should be your club's own work. And only the A.S. Board approves funding.
