The ticketing for the events was brought to the cashier's department attention. John Cagnina, Director of Student Financial Services said, "There is only one office that is suppose to receive the money on campus and that's the cashier's office, which I'm responsible for. All the money that they receive goes through the cashier's office".
Example: You are having an activity for your organization and it was for $5.00, so they will sell the ticket on your behalf, collect the money at the event, and deposit the money in whatever account you have for your organization (you have to fill out a form call Fort Valley State University Agency Agreement, so they know what the name and number is to your account), minus the $1.50 for their service.
If you don't use their service, you can't have your event. According to Kevin Howard, CPA,Comptroller, you don't have an option, because it's the university responsibility to track all activities on campus.
The tickets that the cashier's department print out for all the organizations event, has a code on the back, so no one can make their own copy, plus the code is to keep track of how many people came to the event, so when the event is held next year, you know what to expect.
All tickets are now online to buy, (www.wildcatticketoffice.com) because of their new system. According to John Cagnina, it will better promote all the organization activities.
Now that you know the facts, do you think it's fair that the cashier's office is taking $1.50 from each ticket that the organizations sale?
