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. 82 percent of Seaver undergraduate students
are involved in at least one of the over 100 active clubs and organizations on campus.
For students interested in joining, starting, or re-registering a club, please review

Frequently Asked Questions
If I missed the Spring 2026 new club registration deadline, can I create a new club
for the Fall 2026 semester?
Yes, students may now apply for a new club for Fall 2026! The application is now live
on Peppervine and due May 1st 2026. If you have any additional questions regarding
the application process please reach out directly to iccgeneral@pepperdine.edu.
How do I submit an event request on Peppervine?
All event requests must be submitted at least 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 "Book a Room" feature on Peppervine as
part of their event request form. To avoid confusion, only use Peppervine to reserve
rooms for your club. 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
when 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 $3,500 in the other category. Additionally, clubs and organizations have up to $1000
per year for marketing requests. Please note: Groups can request 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 two weeks prior to the event to ensure
enough time for approval, purchasing, and shipment of the items. Formal requests need
to be submitted at least 4 weeks in advance and large events and/or with an outside
speaker need to be submitted 6 weeks in advance. To submit the funding request on
Peppervine, follow these steps:
- Log in to vine.pepperdine.edu
- Type in "Inter-Club Council" in the Search bar
- Click on the "Inter-Club Concil" group page
- Click on Surveys within the group page
- Click on "ICC Funding Request 2026-2027" (If do not see it type "ICC Funding Request
2026-2027 into the search bar directly under Survey & Forms)
- Fill out the necessary information
- Select your organization from the drop down menu
- Specify between Promotional Material Request and ICC Funds Request
ICC will review each funding request during our 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. You will need to email both iccgeneral@pepperdine.edu and iccfinance@pepperdine.edu
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.
