SA Funding E ach semester The Student Association (SA) collects money from students called the Activity Fee. This money makes it possible to provide services, run events, contests, and advocate on behalf of students. Each year a portion of the fees are used for activities to enhance the extracurricular learning opportunities that support and promote student quality of life. Student groups, faculty, or college staff submit funding proposals for these activities. The requests are reviewed by the SA operations team and determine the benefit for students. The SA Board of Directors has set the end goals as follows: The purpose of the SA funding is so that: Student (quality of) life is improved, both on and off campus in a manner that represents good value for money (or at a justifiable level of cost efficiency) specifically through: ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Engagement of students.
