University Memo For Club Activities
University Club Activities: Guidelines and Procedures
To: All Registered Student Clubs and Organizations
From: Office of Student Affairs
Date: October 26, 2023
Subject: Updated Guidelines and Procedures for Club Activities
This memo serves to inform all registered student clubs and organizations about the updated guidelines and procedures governing club activities on university premises and those activities conducted under the university’s name. Adherence to these guidelines is crucial for maintaining a safe, inclusive, and enriching environment for all students. Failure to comply may result in the suspension or revocation of club registration.
I. Registration and Recognition
All student clubs and organizations must be officially registered with the Office of Student Affairs annually. The registration process includes submitting a constitution, a list of current officers with contact information, a statement of purpose aligned with the university’s values, and a detailed budget proposal for the academic year. Re-registration is required at the start of each academic year. Organizations that fail to re-register by the designated deadline will be considered inactive and will lose all associated privileges.
Recognition status grants clubs the following privileges: use of university facilities, eligibility for funding opportunities, promotion through university channels, and the right to represent the university at external events (with prior approval).
II. Event Planning and Approval
All club events, regardless of size or location, must be planned in accordance with university policies and procedures. Clubs are required to submit a detailed event proposal to the Office of Student Affairs at least four weeks prior to the event date. The proposal must include the following information:
- Event Title and Description: A clear and concise description of the event’s purpose and activities.
- Date, Time, and Location: Specific details regarding the event’s scheduling and location, including backup plans in case of unforeseen circumstances.
- Target Audience: Identification of the intended audience (e.g., club members, all students, community members).
- Budget and Funding Sources: A detailed budget outlining all anticipated expenses and revenue sources. If requesting university funding, specify the amount requested and how it will be used.
- Risk Management Plan: A comprehensive plan addressing potential risks associated with the event and outlining mitigation strategies. This includes security measures, emergency protocols, and accessibility considerations.
- Publicity and Promotion Plan: A description of how the event will be promoted to the target audience, including the use of university logos and branding guidelines.
- Adviser Approval: Signature of the faculty or staff adviser confirming their awareness and approval of the event proposal.
The Office of Student Affairs will review proposals based on several criteria, including alignment with university values, feasibility, safety considerations, and potential impact on the university community. Approval may be granted, denied, or granted with modifications. Clubs are responsible for addressing any concerns raised by the Office of Student Affairs before proceeding with the event.
III. Financial Management
Clubs are responsible for managing their finances responsibly and transparently. All club funds must be deposited into a designated university account. Clubs must maintain accurate records of all income and expenses, and these records are subject to audit by the Office of Student Affairs. Spending must align with the approved budget outlined in the club’s registration and event proposals. Any significant deviations from the approved budget must be justified and approved by the Office of Student Affairs in advance. Club officers are required to attend financial management training sessions offered by the university.
IV. Use of University Facilities
Clubs wishing to use university facilities must reserve them through the appropriate channels, typically the Facilities Management Department or the University Events Office. Reservations are subject to availability and may require fees. Clubs are responsible for ensuring that facilities are used in accordance with university policies and are left clean and undamaged after use. Clubs may be held liable for any damage caused to university property during their events.
V. Code of Conduct and University Policies
All club activities must adhere to the university’s Code of Conduct and all other relevant university policies. This includes policies regarding alcohol consumption, drug use, harassment, discrimination, and intellectual property. Clubs are responsible for ensuring that their members are aware of and abide by these policies. Any violation of university policies may result in disciplinary action against the club and individual members.
VI. Advertising and Promotion
Clubs must follow university guidelines for advertising and promoting their events. All promotional materials must be approved by the Office of Student Affairs prior to distribution. Promotional materials must be accurate, respectful, and free from offensive or discriminatory content. Clubs are encouraged to utilize university-approved channels for promoting their events, such as the university website, social media platforms, and campus bulletin boards.
VII. Adviser Responsibilities
Each registered student club must have a designated faculty or staff adviser. The adviser serves as a mentor and resource for the club, providing guidance on event planning, financial management, and compliance with university policies. The adviser is responsible for attending club meetings, reviewing event proposals, and ensuring that the club operates in accordance with university regulations. The adviser’s signature is required on all event proposals and other official documents.
VIII. Reporting and Evaluation
Clubs are required to submit an end-of-year report to the Office of Student Affairs summarizing their activities, accomplishments, and challenges throughout the academic year. The report should include a financial statement, a list of events held, and an assessment of the club’s impact on the university community. The Office of Student Affairs will use these reports to evaluate club performance and identify areas for improvement.
IX. Amendments and Updates
The Office of Student Affairs reserves the right to amend or update these guidelines and procedures as necessary. Clubs will be notified of any changes through official university channels.
We encourage all clubs to review these guidelines carefully and to contact the Office of Student Affairs with any questions or concerns. We are committed to supporting student clubs and organizations in creating a vibrant and engaging campus community.
