Tampa SG
Tampa Annual Funding Process
What is CAFC?
The purpose of the Campus Allocation Funding Committee (CAFC) is to, through a fair and viewpoint neutral process, prepare the annual budget bill for the Activity and Service Recommendation Committee.
This annual budget consists of 12 Student Success Departments and 250+ student organizations. These entities are funded through the Activity and Service (A&S) fee.
This fee is paid by every Tampa student as a $7.00 flat fee and $12.08 per credit hour, per semester. The A&S fee supports student governing boards and programs and student organizations to improve services directly related to student activities.
These services include but are not limited to: the USF Homecoming Concert, USF Recreation and Wellness, the Marshall Student Center and USF Week of Welcome.
Student Government, through the annual and interim process, allocate these departments and student organizations based off standards created by Student Government in accordance with Florida Statute 1009.24.
CAFC is comprised of 6 USF student voting members, 2 alternate USF student members, 1 USF student non-voting member, and 3 USF non-voting staff members. You can refer to Student Government’s Statutes on BullsConnect to see a more detailed list of these members and their roles.
