Creating a Club

When there is an interest of several students (at least five) to form a new campus club or organization, the following criteria need to be followed:

1. Find a faculty advisor.
2. Develop a club charter, guidelines and constitution. The name, purpose and goals of the organizations should be included within these documents (samples are available from the Student Activities Office).
3. Develop a schedule and plan for meetings and programs.
4. List all students interested in being a member.
5. Discuss the club with the Associate Dean of Student Services located in the Student Activities Office at the Lair.
6. Submit a request to the Associated Student Council (ASC) to be put on a future agenda. The ASC meets every Wednesday at 3:00 pm in the Lair upstairs conference room. Several members should attend to make a presentation to the ASC.
7. Make copies of the club charter/guidelines/constitution for ASC to review prior to meeting.
8. The ASC will take action to approve or disapprove the club's charter. Upon approval, the club is sanctioned on campus.
9. A $100 budget to work with the first year may be requested. The next year, the club will follow procedures for funding as outlined in the S&A Fees manual.
