The student body at Tulane assesses itself with a Student Activity Fee to support its activities. The Student Activity fee entitles students to participate in or attend supported activities, admission to many intercollegiate athletic contests, movies, lectures, and more.
Student Activity Fee Allocations Council
The Student Activity Fee Allocations Council allocates student activity fees to enable and empower a student-created and led, thriving community of Recognized Student Organizations (RSOs) and student experience for all students. In alignment with our EDI statement, the SAFAC applies equitable funding decisions to represent the interest of the undergraduate students and enhances campus life by supporting the mission and values of Tulane.
The SAFAC distributes funds annually to Allocation Committees and the Graduate and Professional Student Association. The SAFAC also distributed funding as needed through the Reserve Funding Projects.

- SAFAC Co-Chair, elected by the Tulane Undergraduate Assembly, shall serve as co-chair and vote only in the case of a tie
