                       SUPPLEMENT DATED NOVEMBER 12, 2004
                      TO PROSPECTUSES DATED OCTOBER 1, 2004

         The Board of Trustees of STI Classic Funds (the "Trust") has approved,
and has recommended that shareholders approve, an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the "Agreement") whereby the assets and known liabilities of the
Information and Technology Fund (the "Selling Fund") would be transferred to the
Trust's Aggressive Growth Stock Fund (the "Acquiring Fund").

         The Agreement provides that, if approved by shareholders, all assets
and known liabilities of the Selling Fund will be transferred to the Acquiring
Fund in exchange for shares of the corresponding classes of the Acquiring Fund
of equal value. The transaction is expected to qualify as a tax-free
reorganization.

         A Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Selling Fund has been called
for December 17, 2004 to vote on the reorganization. Prior to the Special
Meeting, shareholders of record on October 15, 2004 will receive a combined
proxy statement/prospectus that provides a detailed description of the
Agreement, the investment objectives, policies and expenses of the Acquiring
Fund and other important information that shareholders should consider carefully
in connection with the Special Meeting.
