Organization Status: Tier I vs. Tier II
Student organizations may be classified as either “Tier I” or “Tier II”. Both classification of organizations are officially recognized by UMW – with the singular difference being their ability to request additional resources from Student Finance Committee.
As noted, requests for funds are reviewed by the student-run Finance Committee, and are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. An organization classified as “funded” is not guaranteed that all their requests will be approved. Additional questions about this process may be directed to the Finance Committee at umwfinance@gmail.com.
