The Fisher School of Accounting Council is part of the campus-wide Board of College Councils. The Council serves as a liaison between the accounting students and faculty. It sponsors professional and social programs for the benefit of accounting students and participates in projects that serve our community.

Upcoming Events

Be sure to check the FSOA calendar often for up-to-date information on upcoming meetings and events.

How to Get Involved

There are two ways to get involved with the Council. Any registered students in good standing with the University of Florida can participate in our activities as non-voting members. Non-voting members may serve on committees, but do not have the right to make motions or to vote on questions put before the Council. Voting members are students who have been admitted to the Fisher School of Accounting, are in good standing with the University of Florida, and have achieved a minimum bronze-level of membership. Voting members may serve on committees, make motions and to vote on questions put before the Council.

Membership Levels

Bronze: Bronze level members must obtain at least 75% of the 60 total points available per semester. Points are earned by attending the various Council events which are weighted differently based on the event type (see below). Bronze-level members receive recognition in the FSOAC career fair binder distributed to employers, are eligible to run for an executive board position, and have the right to vote.

Silver: Silver level members must obtain 85% of available points. In addition to the bronze-level benefits, silver-level members receive second priority when signing up for Council trips.

Gold: Gold level members, the most active and influential within the organization, must receive 95% of all available points. In addition to the bronze-level benefits, gold-level members will have first priority when signing up for Council trips, and receive a special prize as recognition at the final meeting of the semester. Freshmen and sophomore accounting students who achieve gold-member status will be granted access to the J. Michael Cook/Deloitte Student Commons.

There is a base total of 60 points available to all members based on the frequency of each event type. There will be extra points awarded throughout the semester on a case by case basis.
