How to Start a New Student Organization or
reactivate
an existing one.
If you're interested in either starting your own student organization
from scratch or reactivating an existing organization, you've come to
the right place. The process is fairly simple and is also outlined in
the
Student Organization
Resource Handbook.
An organization must have the following in order to be recognized by the
Department of Student Activities:
-
A drafted constitution should be completed.
Sample
constitutions
are located in the Student Organization Resource Handbook, under
Appendix A.
-
A
petition for
recognition,
with a minimum of twenty (20) currently enrolled students, with
student signatures and identification numbers, under
Appendix B.
One faculty or staff member at St. Ambrose must agree to serve as
the advisor for the organization should also be included.
-
An
student
organization information update sheet
in the Student Organization Resource Handbook, under
Appendix C.
Once all these steps have been completed, the completed paperwork should
be turned into the Office of Student Activities. After the paperwork
has been reviewed and approved for recommendation, it will be forwarded
to the Student Government Association (SGA).
A representative of the aspiring organization MUST BE present at the
meeting where recognition status is being discussed by SGA. Any
amendments to the constitution must be approved by the student
representative(s) present at the meeting. If SGA and aspiring
organization are in agreement to constitution (and changes), the student
organization should be recognized.
