Apply Now for Fall 2015! Upcoming SAFA Dates
Any organizations wishing to request SAFA funds for the Fall 2015 semester need to make note of the important dates located here.
In order to help organizations throughout the process, the UCA SGA will be providing different SAFA trainings on how to submit your request and how to effectively present your budget request. The dates and locations for these trainings can be found at the link above.
PLEASE NOTE: The SAFA process is done entirely through OrgSync. All communication about budget requests will be done through OrgSync. Make sure you are checking your budget requests daily once you have submitted a budget request/SAFA application.
Update OrgSync Rosters!
Beginning January 1, 2015, The Office of Student Life will be auditing all organization portals in OrgSync to evaluate membership numbers and ensure compliance with UCA policy. Any organization who does not meet minimum membership numbers will be notified and have until the end of the month to get their membership numbers to acceptable levels (at least 6 student members).
On Friday, January 30, 2015, any organization with less than 4 student members in their OrgSync portal will automatically lose official recognition status. Any organization with 4-5 members will be placed on probation until it’s membership exceeds the minimum of 6 persons (as per UCA policy).
PLEASE NOTE: Your organization’s membership numbers may have recently decreased, because accounts of students who have graduated or no longer attend UCA were removed from the system.
Organization membership numbers are periodically reviewed for multiple things, including SAFA funding requests.
The only way our office will be evaluating membership numbers will be in examining the number of people who are members within your organization’s portal. If you need help with understanding how the organization roster works in OrgSync or how you can invite members to join your portal, .
If your organization recently had an officer change, you need to on OrgSync as well. This will update the main OrgSync page and help to ensure there are no problems with scheduling space on campus.
Our office is there to make sure your organization is successful and we are happy to help! If you have questions or concerns feel free to send me an email message at bprice@uca.edu.
OrgSync Card Readers
If your organization has purchased a USB card reader to track attendance at events, please send an email message to bprice@uca.edu with the number of readers your organization has, a contact phone number and email and the organization name. We need to check all card readers to make sure they will continue to work with the new style of ID cards that are slowly rolling out on campus.
