The Cornell University Board of Trustees charges the Student Assembly with proposing a student activity fee for the entire undergraduate student body on a bi-yearly basis. The SA is also responsible for proposing how the fee will be distributed among student organizations on campus. The proposal must be approved by the University President and Board of Trustees. Nearly every student organizations on campus is funded through a “By-Line” organization, or an organization that receives a direct portion of the student activity fee.
The process for setting the fee proposal is outlined in the Student Assembly Charter, mostly in Appendix A and Appendix B. For more information on starting a new By-Line funded organization, please contact the Office of the Assemblies.
The fee-setting process for the 2018–2020 Student Activity Fees begins as of Wednesday, 1 February 2017 with the publishing of this information.
For new or returning organizations applying to be part of the 2018–2020 SA or GPSA Activity Fees, attendance at one of the following “Introduction to By-Line Funding” sessions is required:

The 2016–2018 Student Activity Fee proposal was completed in December 2015. The fee proposal was officially set by Student Assembly 2015-2016 Resolution 34 [1]. It was subsequently approved by the University President and Board of Trustees. It took affect for the start of the 2016–2017 Academic Year.
During the Fall 2016, each By-Line funded organization will be reviewed by the Student Assembly Appropriations Committee.
