Inter-Club Council (ICC) exists to train club leaders in accountability, personal
development, and resourcefulness while helping approved Pepperdine clubs gain access
to funding and event planning information. There are currently 2,415 Seaver undergraduate
students involved in the over 95 active clubs and organizations on campus. For students
interested in joining, starting, or re-registering a club, please review the information

Frequently Asked Questions
If I missed the Fall 2025 new club registration deadline, can I create a new club
for the Fall 2025 semester?
Unfortunately, the new club registration is closed at this time. Students may apply
for the Spring 2026 when the spring new club application opens. Please reach out to
iccgeneral@pepperdine.edu for more information about when that application opens.
How do I submit an event request on Peppervine?
All event requests must be submitted two weeks in advance of the event to ensure enough
time for approvals, space confirmation, and setup request. To submit the event request
on Peppervine, follow these steps:
- Login to vine.pepperdine.edu
- Go to your club’s membership page
- Go to the left hand side on the side bar
- Click “Events”
- Once on the page, click “create event” on the top right corner
- Fill out with necessary information
- Select a location using the “Book Rooms” feature. Be sure to add time for setup and
breakdown.
- Submit event by clicking “Create Event”
Pepperdine has a strict “four or more” rule, meaning that if four or more people from
your organization are in attendance, you need to make an event request. An event is
any activity or situation, sponsored, co-sponsored or endorsed by the organization,
or any event a reasonable person would associate with the organization.
How do I reserve a space for my club?
All groups can reserve a space through the event request form. To avoid confusion,
please do not go through Office Managers unless advised to do so by the Student Organizations
Coordinator. If the room you are requesting is not available, that means it is reserved
by another group. Select a different room or find another date or time that room is
available.
Why does ICC want my club meetings/events/etc. tracked on Peppervine?
ICC E-board takes in consideration the number of people who consistently attend club
meetings and use this as a base for which clubs should be funded. For instance, if
only 20 students show up consistently, it is unlikely that ICC would fund a request
submitted for food for 50 students. ICC highly encourages groups to utilize the CampusGroups
QR code scan feature to check students into events.
How does ICC allocate funds for clubs?
ICC allocates club funds into two categories: Student Development and General Fund.
During ClubCon, clubs and organizations decide if they would like to receive up to $3,000 in one category and up to $4,000 in the other category. Additionally, clubs and organizations have up to $500
per year for marketing requests. Please note: Groups can ask up to these amounts, however it does not guarantee that
ICC will fund the request made. It is up to the discretion of the ICC E-Board during funding meetings whether or
not to fund certain requests.
How do I access funding?
All funding requests must be submitted at least four weeks prior to the event to ensure
enough time for approval, purchasing, and shipment of the items. To submit the funding
request on Peppervine, follow these steps:
- Log in to vine.pepperdine.edu
- Go to your club’s membership page
- Go to the left hand side on the side bar
- Click “Money”
- Once on the page, click “Budgeting”
- Fill out the necessary information
- Specify between Promotional Material Request and ICC Funds Request
ICC will review each funding request during their weekly funding meeting. ICC will
respond to requests within 48 hours of the funding meeting. If you do not hear back
from ICC, please email iccfinance@pepperdine.edu to follow up on your request.
For funding requests over $1,000, please schedule a time to discuss this request with
the ICC E-Board during the weekly funding meetings.
What do I need to do to bring an outside speaker?
Payment and approval of an outside speaker is a significantly longer process than
a traditional event and funding request. Please contact the Student Organizations Coordinator at least 6 weeks prior to the planned event date to coordinate this process.
Why did part of my funding request get approved but not all of it?
ICC E-board should have communicated the reason as to why the funding request was
partially funded. In general, ICC will review all event requests in tandem with the
funding request during the weekly funding meetings. If ICC E-board deems that the
club does not need the amount of supplies or food requested based on previous requests
or attendance tracked on Peppervine, often ICC will recommend a lower cost item or
lower amount. Additionally, there are some requests that are not approved by ICC.
To learn more about what ICC is able to fund, visit the Student Organizations Handbook and refer to the “Inter-Club Council Funding Policies” section.
