The Appeals Board hears all appeals from student organizations and/or area councils in regards to funding decisions made by the Funding Board or the Student Affairs Committee. The Appeals Board consists of the Comptroller, and two rotating members of the USG Judiciary, as decided by the Chief Justice. The guidelines of the Appeals Board, defined by USG Bylaw II, Section G, dictate under what conditions appeals can be filed. You can contact the board at appeals@usg.uconn.edu for an appeal.
