Registering as a Student Organization
All prospective student organizations are required to:
- Pick up and sign out a Student Organization Recognition Packet from the Student Activities Office.
- Complete the Registration Form, Interest Roster, and both the Hazing and Banking Signature Sheets and return them to the Student Activities Office.
- Select a president and treasurer (required officers).
- Have at least five members who are full-time ACI students.
- Obtain a full-time member of the faculty, staff or administration as an advisor.
- Either submit a constitution or make sure the most recently updated version (no more than three years old) is currently on file in the Student Activities Office.
- Have their organization’s president and treasurer attend a mandatory programming orientation session.
A student organization is considered fully registered when the above criteria have been met and a verification letter has been issued.
Requesting Status as a New Religious Organization
Students must schedule a meeting with the Campus Ministry Council (see Campus Ministry Council section under College Committees). The Council will make a recommendation to the Office of Student Affairs.
Once approved by the Campus Ministry Council, the organization may proceed to request recognition as a new organization through the Student Activities Office by following the procedures outlined in the previous section.
