Committees

Financial Allocations for Organizations Committee (FAO)

The Financial Allocations for Organizations Committee (FAO) allows students to showcase and facilitate the mission of their RSO. FAO allocates funds to RSOs for events, projects, and promo items. The funding level for each category can be found in the Spending Policy. Organizations can apply to be funded at 50% via a Senate Bill. Applications and other requirements can be found on the SG website under Funding.

Conference, Registration, and Travel Committee (CRT)

The Conference, Registration, and Travel Committee (CRT) distributes funding for students that will allow them to explore their passions. Through CRT, SG can assist students in traveling to conferences around the world that allow them to present research, provide services, compete with other students in their field, and network with professionals within their discipline.

Operations Review & Sanctions Committee (ORS)

The Operations Review & Sanctions Committee (ORS) is responsible for holding RSOs accountable to Title VIII: The Finance Code of the Student Body Statutes. ORS audits the funding that the Student Body Senate allocates to ensure that funds are being spent properly and decides on sanctions to individuals or Registered Student Organizations that are found in violation of the finance code. ORS does this by analyzing Verification of Purchases Forms, and by reviewing Post-Funding Forms, which provides feedback for the funding process.

Elections and Appointments Committee (E&A)

The Elections and Appointments Committee (E&A) is responsible for ensuring that the candidates selected to represent the Student Body are equipped to do so. E&A oversees the rules and procedures of Student Government elections, as outlined in Title VI: The Election Statutes. E&A also presides over the appointment process for all branches, in which nominees first attend a hearing within the Committee before they may be seen and potentially confirmed by the full Senate.

Legislative, Judicial, and Rules Committee (LJR)

The Legislative, Judicial, and Rules Committee (LJR) ensures that all Student Government agents are held in compliance with the Student Body Constitution. LJR reviews and updates the SG governing documents and facilitates measures that hold SG agents accountable to the student body.

Government Affairs and Policy Committee (GAP)

The Government Affairs and Policy (GAP) committee serves to increase student engagement with civic education and current events. The GAP committee facilitates relationships between the student body and local elected representatives and government officials, serving as a non-partisan research committee to connect students to issues, proposals, and changes that affect college-aged students as well as advocacy avenues for both sides of the policy at hand. GAP also has the annual responsibility of establishing the Legislative Priorities for UCF’s Student Government prior to the State’s Legislative Session.

Student Body Advocacy Committee (SBA)

The Student Body Advocacy Committee (SBA) works to ensure that students’ voices are heard by surveying students concerns and issues. This is done through tabling, RSO collaboration, and our online Concern Form. Through this, SG can better address ideas, concerns, and feedback directly from the student body. SBA committee members create initiatives to actively solve common issues students might encounter on campus.
