SAFC - Student Activities Funding Committee

Ever wondered what happens to your student fees? Well, we’d like to invite you to find out what happens to a portion of your student fees and have a say in how that money is spent.

Every 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—Homecoming Week, Engineering Week, or Women’s Heritage Month.

Who deems these programs worthy of student fee monies? 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 the Campus Programs Department. The committee acts as an advisory to the Vice-Chancellor of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management.

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