SUFAC Budget Updates
Appeal Process
By now, your student organization should have received your Final Allocated Budget for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. If your organization feels it has been treated unfairly, don’t worry - you can still appeal. Just make sure to do it before the budgets are presented and voted on by the Student Government Association and then passed on to the Chancellor for approval.
To appeal, email your request to sufac.chair@uwsuper.edu by Thursday, April 3rd. They will review your appeal and schedule a time to hear it before submitting final budget recommendations to the Senate.
