    3. After Your Hearing

       If you have been approved for an EFAF charter, your organization may now apply for an operational budget and supplementary funding. You will be sent additional finance information to begin using an allocated account with College Council.
       
      YOUR CHARTER REQUEST WAS DENIED
       
      Unfortunately, we cannot approve all charter requests. In your decision letter, the Office of Organization Management will include a clear rationale for the denial and steps your organization can take to correct the issues for a future application. You may also contact the Office to schedule an appointment to discuss the decision in more detail.
       
      If you are denied a charter, your organization may apply again in 90 days.
       
      If you have been denied an EFAF charter, your organization will retain all the rights and privileges of an EFIF chartered organization.
