SGA Funding

NEW: Oracle Supplier Registration Required Before Reimbursement
Effective September 30, 2026
Every student who will be reimbursed must first register as a supplier in Oracle. This applies to all reimbursements, travel and programming alike. Without it, you cannot be paid.
 
Register at memphis.edu/procurement/oracle/vendor.php, then select New Supplier Registration.
  • Use a non-University email address, not your UofM address. This is the step most people get wrong.
  • Enter your UID number where it asks for a Social Security number. No W-9 required.
  • Approved within 48 hours excluding weekends and holidays, usually same day.
Register when your funding is approved, not after you spend.
You do not submit your own reimbursement in Oracle. Register as a supplier, then submit your documentation through TigerZone as usual.
 

Student Organization Fund (SOF) Programming Request

This section covers a single, clear, and current process for Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) requesting SOF Programming funding, covering event programming, printed materials, and general operational needs. It replaces outdated and conflicting guidance from prior years, consolidates the terminology confusion between former categories (Operational Assistance, SEA, SAFA), and defines a workflow that reduces stress for student leaders, faculty/staff advisors, and University staff processing these requests.

SGA Travel Funding

This section covers a clear, current process for Travel Funding requests, distinct from the SOF Programming Request process. Travel Funding supports students attending conferences, academic presentations, or leadership programs that bring positive recognition to the University of Memphis. This process covers the Undergraduate/Law shared process in detail and notes the separate Graduate process for completeness.
