Student Organization Resource Fee



Quad Day


The Student Organization Resource Fee (SORF) was established in 1978 to support programs and activities of Registered Organizations.
  • SORF is a mandatory (but refundable*) $6 fee collected each semester from all UIUC students.
  • The fee money is available for allocation to Registered Student Organizations that apply for funding from SORF. Fundable categories include contractual services including transportation and lodging expenses, film, equipment, rentals (facility, equipment, services) and publications/communications. SORF also provides financial support to offset the cost of off-campus travel for educational, competitive, performance, and service experiences that are relevant to the organization’s mission.
  • A funding board comprised of elected students and appointed staff is responsible for allocating money generated from SORF fees to Registered Student Organizations
*Programs and services are available to students unless they receive a SORF refund. If a student receives a refund, their access to resources and services from SORF are relinquished.

Students who receive a SORF refund will NOT be reimbursed for any expenses. Similarly, reimbursement will not be made to a parent, guardian, relative, friend, etc. that paid on behalf of a student that received a SORF refund.

SORF Board

SORF is a funding board comprised of 8 elected students (at least 2 of which are graduate/professional status) and 3 appointed staff, for a total of 11 voting members. Students are elected by the student body and serve a 1-year term. Elections are held every spring and administered by the Student Elections Commission. Faculty/Staff members are appointed to one-year terms by the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs and are frequently re-appointed for a second and third year. Administrative support including the secretary, program advisor, and account technician is provided by Student Programs and Activities Registered Organizations Office in the Illini Union. The Board’s Chair and Vice-Chair are student members elected by the eleven voting members.

The SORF Board is responsible for allocating monetary resources, generated by the Student Organization Resource Fee, to RSO’s in support of their programs and activities. The Board proposes their funding recommendations to the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs for final approval.
