Recognition and Operations

Students arrive at É«½äÖ±²¥ with a variety of interests and often discover new passions as they become part of the campus community. Full-time students are encouraged to join existing clubs and organizations that align with their interests or start new ones.

Recognized clubs and organizations adhere to USG guidelines and expectations. Affiliation with an external organization does not automatically qualify or disqualify a group from receiving USG recognition.

Each recognized club or organization is required to have at least on advisor who is a faculty or staff member, typically chosen by the group. Individuals who are not employed by É«½äÖ±²¥ who wish to serve as a secondary, off-campus advisor must work with the Office of Campus Life. This is a privilege and is subject to annual review, or reassessment at any time if concerns or conflict arise.

Recognized student organizations, including those with external affiliations, shall abide by all applicable federal, state, and local nondiscrimination laws. In addition, they must operate in accordance with University policies related to membership, off-campus travel, event planning, and financial management. Recognition of student organizations by the University is contingent on continued compliance with these standards. Recognition will be granted and maintained so long as the organization complies with University policies, regulations, and procedures concerning qualification. Approval of student organizations by USG is made in coordination with the University.

Financial Management for Student Organizations

Recognized student organizations are required to maintain an on-campus financial account through the University's Business Office. Off-campus accounts are not permitted. Once approved, a recognized student organization will work with USG and the Business Office to establish an organization account and provide access to the appropriate members of the club or organization.
