Requirement for Recognition of Student Organizations

To receive and maintain active status, a prospective student organization must submit the student organization Recognition/Renewal Application (Attachment # 1), Petty Cash Authorization Form (Attachment # 2) and a copy of the constitution and by-laws (Attachment # 3) to the Office of Student Activities. All requests for the fall semester recognition must be submitted no later than September 27, and February 14 for spring. Active student organizations for spring may function through the summer.

Organizations that register after the final registration deadline will have probated recognition. These organizations will not be permitted to do off-campus fundraisers or activities for the remainder of the semester.

After a review of member’s grade point averages and all required documents, the Office of Student Activities will notify the organization when the renewal is approved. Student organizations should ensure the renewal form is completed and approved before scheduling any activities, meetings and fundraisers.

Recognition of a campus organization does not constitute endorsement of its program or purpose by the College. Recognition is simply a charter to exist on campus and may be withdrawn by the Director of Student Activities if the organization becomes inactive, or violates any regulations of the college or any federal, state, local laws or regulations.
