Student organizations must be approved through the Student-Faculty Committee, which will recommend acceptance or rejection to the dean of students. A proposed organization must file a constitution or statement of purpose and the name of a faculty sponsor, with facts revealing student interest in the new group to the dean of students. Current student groups wishing to renew their organization must also file the same documents including any appropriate changes to the group. Submission of proposals for new groups as well as renewal submissions for continuing students groups are to be submitted yearly, prior to April 15th, in order to be considered for activity and funding in the subsequent fall semester. The form provided below is available to assist with the proposal and renewal process. Unofficial student organizations that gather for the purpose of occasional, informal meetings may do so, but they will not be eligible to receive funds through the Student Council. These unofficial student organizations are still required to file with the committee a statement of purpose and the name of a faculty sponsor (see form below). The faculty sponsor of that organization must approve speakers sponsored by all student organizations
