The council will discuss programs provided to first-year students that are supported by the New Student Enrollment & Orientation Fee (NSEOF) and decide if the proposed rate increases are justified. These programs include Advising & Orientation, Dawg Daze, First-year Interest Groups, Commuter & Transfer Commons, and Academic Support Programs (CLUE/Tutor Mentor Program), UW CIRCLE Regional Connection Groups, OMAD/UAA Peer Advising.  

Meetings will be held in the winter quarter. The Council will have representatives from various student organizations along with first-year students at large.

Council members will be compensated for their time. If a council member is not paid by their employer to attend, they are eligible to receive a Husky Textbook award for each meeting attended at a rate of $25 per meeting. Awards will be granted after the final council meeting.
*Council members MUST be UW students*

The meeting minutes will be posted in the following folder.

The NSEOF Funding Proposal form was designed with the intent to better understand each funding request unit's current position and the intention behind each proposal. It serves as a tool for our council to quickly identify the potential area of interest and need. Please review the FYE Council Operations and Procedures (specifically Article IV) to learn more about the funding process.  

• New Funding: The FYESAC considers proposals to increase each spring (March 15). The Funding Request Form is closed for the 2024-2025 year.
• Already Funded: Units or departments who received funding in previous years from the NSEOF rate increase are required to provide NSEOF Funded Unit Feedback by April 15, 11:59 PM PST. Individual rolling documents have been established in SharePoint for feedback submission.

We look forward to working with units through the funding process; please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or suggestions. To learn more about the New Student Enrollment and Orientation Fee, visit our website.

• Are we allowed to ask for feedback prior to submission? The Chair is not able to review proposals and provide feedback ahead of time as they may have to cast a tiebreaker vote. However, the Council Advisor (LeAnne Jones Wiles) is able to provide feedback since she is not voting! Please connect with her directly.

• What if we’re trying to get more than one thing funded? We recommend that you write separate proposals for each item so it maximizes your chances of getting funded, as by tying two (or more) items together in the same proposal, the Council would have to deny both if even one item did not receive approval.

• Can we submit supplemental information? Yes! If you have supplemental information that you believe will support your proposal, including the possibility of partial funding (such as a budgetary breakdown of what the NSEOF funding request will be used for), you are more than welcome to submit it.

• How do we submit supplemental information? Please email supplemental information as file attachments to fyesac@uw.edu by the submission deadline. They will be bundled with the proposal for Council review.

• What role does our student representative play in the funding request process? Units are welcome to have their student representative serve as an advocate during pre-vote discussions and/or present to the Council during proposal review if other unit staff are unable to attend.

• How does the Council come to a decision on proposals? Students will be discussing the proposal based on the impact on incoming first year students and the responses to questions in the proposal.

The Council typically meets serveral times throughout the Winter and Spring- however they are taking a hiatus for the 2023-2024 school year to account
