UIC Campus Programs

The Student Activities Funding Committee

Ever wondered what happens to your student fees? Well, you're invited to find out what happens to a portion of that money, AND have a say in how that money is spent!

Each year a portion of your student fees is set aside into a fund, the Student Activities Fund. This fund is used to help support activities planned by and benefiting UIC students. There are numerous activities and groups that benefit from this fund every year. Some you may be familiar with—Spirit Week, Engineering Week or Women's Heritage Month.

Q: Who deems these programs worthy of student fee money?
A: The Student Activities Funding Committee (SAFC). This committee is comprised of 14 students and 7 faculty and staff members and is overseen by an advisor from Campus Programs. The committee acts as an advisory to the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs.

We're always looking for students who are interested in having a say in what happens with their student fees and what programming happens here on their campus. The time commitment is small—the committee meets every other Monday throughout the academic year —but the impact is HUGE.
