Student Fee Advisory Committee (SFAC)

SFAC meets several times during the latter half of the fall semester and during the spring semester as necessary. In the fall, members receive a comprehensive orientation that includes common budget terms, the SFAC process, and how to effectively review funding requests. SFAC hears and reviews budget requests from departments within the Division of Student Affairs and University Sponsored Organizations, which receive student service fees in support of their goals for the next fiscal year.

Following these presentations, SFAC goes into deliberation. Once the deliberations are finalized, SFAC forwards their funding allocation recommendations, as well as a recommendation on the amount of the SFAC fee for the following year, to the UHCL President and Vice President for Student Affairs for final approval.

SFAC receives its authority via the Texas Administrative Code (Education Code; Chapter 54; Section 54.5062).

The Student Fee Advisory Committee governing documents ensure they are operating in an effective way to meet their goals and responsibilities. For your reference, access the SFAC By-Laws online.
