The SAF Annual Process is now closed. Please check back during our next Contingency Process in Fall 2012.
Background
Services and Activities Fees (SAF) are charged to all registered students for the express purpose of funding student services and programs. The level and distribution of the fee is recommended by the SAF Committee, approved by the chancellor, and authorized by the Board of Regents for each academic year. Requests must be for programs, services, and activities that will occur between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013.
Instructions for Submitting Proposals
1. Read Guidelines for Funding/General Criteria for Evaluating Funding Requests before you decide to submit a request (http://www.bothell.washington.edu/studentlife/safc/safbylaws).
2. You may save your work online and complete the application in stages. Proposals must be submitted online by 3:00 p.m. on Friday, January 27, 2012.
3. Services and Activities Fees may not be used in support of credit-bearing courses.
4. If you plan on requesting food in your application, please familiarize yourself with the University Food Policy.
5. Please note that the committee cannot fund more than you request (with the exception of benefits associated with salaries or wages, which are set annually by the state and university). If there is a submission error, the committee cannot make any changes and will base their decision on the initial request only. Additional forms/attachments will not be accepted.
Important Dates
1. Applicants will be notified in early February if a hearing is requested for their proposal. Hearings will be scheduled between 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. on two Fridays: February 10th and 17th. Individuals submitting requests do so with the full understanding that they may be required to attend a brief hearing (typically lasting for about 15 minutes) on one of those two dates. Please mark both dates on your calendar!
2. The Committee will issue a preliminary budget in mid-March. This decision will be communicated to the campus community along with information on how to appeal and an opportunity to attend an open forum on Friday, March 30th to express concern over any of the Committee’s preliminary recommendations.
3. The Committee will adopt a final budget on Friday, April 27th and forward it to the Chancellor and Board of Regents for their respective approvals.
