2016 New Group Recognition

*SAC is no longer accepting applications at this time.*

Eligible student organizations must have existed on Penn's campus for at least one calendar year, have a primary mission unique from existing SAC-recognized student organizations, and demonstrate a need for SAC funding within existing guidelines. (For more details, see our Policies.)

To apply, send the attached application to newgroup@sacfunded.net along with a constitution, list of members, list of activities, and list of historical expenditures. Applications will remain open until November 14th at 5 p.m. Late applications will not be considered. Eligible student organizations will meet with SAC's Executive Board for further discussion.

2016-17 Budget Appeals

Budget appeals are due on Wednesday, April 13th at 11:59 PM.

If you believe that your group's budget has been insufficiently funded, submit an appeal to appeals@sacfunded.net. For each line item, include:

1) The original amount requested for the item 2) The amount approved by SAC Exec 3) The amount for which you are appealing

Please also include explanations, clarification, documentation, and cost quotes as necessary. The appeals process provides you with an opportunity to emphasize a point or elucidate details regarding your initial annual budget request. Your SAC Exec Liaison will contact you with our updated recommendation by April 18th. If you are unsatisfied with our decision, you may appeal it before the General Body at the April GBM.

2016 Spring Activities Fair

The Spring Activities Fair will be held on Sunday, January 17th from 10 AM to 1 PM in Houston Hall.

Registration will be open until Saturday, January 2th at 11:59 PM. After registration closes, tables will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis as availability permits. You will receive an email by January 6th confirming that you have registered. Email sacfair@sacfunded.net with any questions.

SAC Moratorium Update

After evaluating SAC's finances for the 2013-2014 academic year, the SAC Executive Board will be recommending a partial lift of the new group moratorium at the September 2014 GBM.

The moratorium will be lifted for student organizations that fall into all SAC categories except for Arts. Retaining the moratorium on new Arts groups will allow SAC and PAC to continue to work on a sustainable system for funding facilities costs. Additional details can be found in our Daily Pennsylvanian op-ed. At the October GBM, the General Body will vote on the proposal.
