Appeals, Complaints & Ineligibility

Student Orgs that applied for funding and received a denial, either in part or in full, are eligible to appeal the decision back to the SORF Board for reconsideration. The following rationales do not qualify for an appeal:

• Missed SORF Application Deadline
• Submission of an incorrect Application Type (i.e., Services instead of Programs application)
• Insufficient or Incorrect Supporting Documentation
• Violation of SORF Procedural Standard 2: Student Organization Standing
• Violation of Programs-Specific Standard 2C: Minimum University of Illinois Student Attendees

Appeals must be submitted within 48 hours of receiving notice of your student organization's funding application decision. Appeals submitted after 48 hours will not be considered.

The appeals form will be available to Treasurers who are in compliance with SORF Funding and submitted for funding during the respective period via a link on their OneIllinois Officer Forms & Resources page.

Any students at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign may submit a complaint related to an RSO that received SORF Funding and violated the SORF Standards and Restrictions. All complaints will be reviewed by the SORF Chairperson and Advisor. If the evidence provided is sufficient, the complaint will be brought to the Board for discussion. All decisions related to the complaint will then be sent to the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs and approved prior to being communicated to the RSO in question.

The final decision will not be communicated to the submitter of this form but can be found when the SORF Meeting Minutes are approved and published to the SORF Website.
