Student Organization Recognition Process
(for initial recognition)
  1. Contact the SOS Coordinator to set up an initial meeting.
  2. After you have met with the Coordinator, you will receive a link which will allow you to complete the online Recognition Application and to upload your constitution.
  3. Make sure the person completing the paperwork for your organization has ALL of the needed information as outlined by the recognition application (see link above). You will be using an ONLINE RECOGNITION DATABASE, where you will be asked to input all necessary information into an online portfolio for your organization. After the application is completed you will be 99% recognized.
    NO PAPERWORK WILL BE TURNED INTO OUR OFFICE (so that nothing can get lost) – it will all be entered online by someone from your organization!
  4. Complete ALL sections of the online Recognition Application. If you do not complete EVERY section of the online application (including complete membership/officer information), your Recognition Application will go before the Organization Oversight Committee as incomplete. There will be NO SECOND CHANCES to get this information to us, so please fill out the application only when you are prepared.
  5. Await final confirmation of your organization’s recognition status, which should occur no more than a month after the application is submitted.
PLEASE NOTE: EVERY student organization MUST participate in the Recognition Process EACH year—next year, your organization will follow the directions for Re-recognition.

Please understand that NO DEADLINES WILL BE EXTENDED!
