Formation of New Student Groups and Organizations

New student clubs and organizations may be formed on campus as the interest and need develops. No group may be officially formed until it has been approved by the College’s administration. The following steps for approval must be submitted to the Office of Student Life:

Identify a staff advisor(s)
Create a name for organization and objectives
Create a constitution and by-laws
Create membership requirements
Include names of charter members
Submit documents to the Office of Student Life to review
Submit by-laws and purpose for final approval to the Vice Chancellor for Student Services

Revisions to by-laws before becoming official must be approved by the organization itself. New organizations become formally recognized at the beginning of each semester. If at any time during the academic year an organization chooses to become inactive, the group must follow the same guidelines as stated above to be formally recognized again. Also, the organization must wait until the beginning of the following semester to become active on campus.
