Access to Allocated Funds
If your student organization receives funding from SGA, those funds are transferred to a university (KFS) account and managed by the Student Organization Resource Center (SORC) Financial Services Staff. It is SORC’s responsibility to ensure that groups are spending their funds in accordance with SGA policies and procedures while also adhering to university policies.
Click here to find the SORC Financial Services Manual, a starting guide which provides detailed information on how to view your fund balance, keep track of all activity on your account as well as how to submit payment requests to spend the funds from your group's KFS account. The most important thing to remember when preparing to spend money from KFS accounts is to always go to the Student Organization Resource Center (SORC).
While SORC Financial Services staff work closely with the SGA, their role is to assist groups AFTER the funding process. If you have questions on how to apply for funds or what types of funding your group is eligible for, please refer those questions to the SGA Finance Committee. Questions regarding how to access those funds should be directed to SORC.
SORC Financial Services staff are committed to assisting groups in understanding these policies and procedures. We encourage you to reach out to them by visiting their office Monday through Friday from 9:00am to 5:00pm. They are located in the Student Involvement Suite on the ground floor of the Stamp Student Union. They can be contacted at 301-314-7158 or [email protected].

If your student organization decides to misuse your funding...
Misuse of SAF funding is a major offense and is not taken lightly. With almost 750 student organizations, CoFA has established an internal Committee for Audit and Review to ensure funds are being spent in line with what they were approved for. More information about the Audit process on the Audit Page.
