Student Activities

Registration and Responsibilities

The student organization must have a constitution which states the purpose and goals of the organization and how these goals are consistent and compatible with the mission and goals of the University. Any changes in an undergraduate student organization's constitution will require review by the respective Student Government as detailed in the bylaws. Any changes in a professional or graduate student organization's constitution will require review by the appropriate Dean or designee.
The student organization must abide by University policies and procedures appropriate to the organization's activities and conduct.
The student organization must agree to comply with the University's nondiscrimination policy in regard to membership.
The student organization must agree that freedom of expression will be exercised in a peaceful, non-disruptive manner and with appropriate consideration and respect for differing points of view.
The members of the student organization should seek the advice and counsel of their respective moderators or Student Life liaison, especially when involved in issues that may be controversial or provocative.
Because registration of a student organization in no way implies that the University necessarily endorses positions or points of view espoused privately or publicly by members of the student organization, the student organization should articulate the fact that the University is not responsible for the actions, positions or points of view espoused privately or publicly by any such organization. The organization should include in all of its agreements and publications, written or otherwise disseminated, a suitable statement setting forth that the University, in no way, expressly or implied, endorses or is responsible for the actions, practices, positions or points of view of any such organization.
In the event that a particular student organization is affiliated with any off-campus organization, the student organization's constitution must reflect such an affiliation.
All related policies and procedures in the Student Handbook apply as indicated.
