The Student Activity Fee paid to UMBC by every undergraduate funds student organization events and operations, the Student Events Board, SGA and The Retriever Weekly. The total amount collected and distributed each year is roughly $670,000.

SGA decides how to allocate the fee, based in part on requests submitted by the Student Events Board and The Retriever Weekly. The Student Activity Fee Review Board (SAFRB), which consists of both students and non-students, provides oversight for this process. SAFRB members' role is to ask good questions, make helpful suggestions and provide guidance to student leaders as they make decisions about the budget.

The SAFRB meets roughly five times between February and April each year. You'll find additional information on this application form. If you think you might want to serve as an undergraduate representative, complete the form and submit it to Joe Regier at regier@umbc.edu by Thursday, February 4th.
