Student Government Association
We are so happy that you are interested in learning more about the Student Government Association (SGA)! Throughout our web pages, you will find more information about what SGA does, bills that have been passed through Senate to enhance the student experience, recordings of past Senate meetings, as well as who is representing YOU!
We hope that you will get involved with SGA through our freshman council, townhall discussions, tabling initiatives, and connect with us on social media! If you have any questions, concerns, or ideas, please contact any member of SGA. It is our pleasure to represent you and advocate on your behalf as the 'voice of the students'.
RSO Funding Opens August 25
SGA funding for Registered Student Organizations opens Tuesday, August 25, 2026 at 6:00 PM. Requests submitted before that date cannot be processed.
Before your organization can request funding, two things must be complete:
- Your organization must be registered and in active status. RSO registration is handled through TigerZone and closes September 15.
- Your officers must complete SGA financial training. This is separate from the RSO training delivered by Student Leadership and Involvement, and completing one does not satisfy the other.
Training dates: August 25, August 26, and September 3.
Funding is awarded first come, first served until the annual allocation is exhausted, so plan early.
Travel funding follows the same August 25 opening date and the same training requirement. Travel is a separate process with its own deadlines and eligibility requirements. See the Travel page for details.
