Disclosure Controls and Procedures:
The disclosure controls and procedures of The STI
Classic Funds (the "Trust") are periodically
evaluated.  As of January 10, 2003, the date of the
last evaluation, we, the certifying officers,
concluded that the Trust's disclosure controls and
procedures are adequate.



Internal Controls:
The internal controls of the Trust are periodically
evaluated.  As of January 10, 2003, the date of the
last evaluation, there have been no significant
changes in the Trust's internal controls or in other
factors that could have had a significant affect on
such controls.  There have also been no significant
deficiencies or material weaknesses identified since
the last evaluation that required any corrective
action.
