The College is committed to providing co-curricular learning opportunities for all Students. Student organizations enhance student learning, provide professional and personal growth opportunities, and promote a positive image of the College.
The types of organizations that the College will recognize fall into two (2) categories:
Occupational Organizations: Groups representing a particular instructional program or occupational division and providing a service or learning experience to enhance the instructional program and curriculum directly.
Special Interest Organizations: Groups that provide social, recreational, or service activities for Students and help them develop organizational or leadership skills.
To receive official recognition and financial support, an organization must apply for recognition and meet specific criteria set forth by the Student Government Association (SGA). Organizations that fail to comply with SGA rules and the Code of Conduct, engage in unlawful activities, or bring disgrace to the College may lose their official recognition of the organization. Such notice will be provided in writing by the Student Engagement Specialist. Any organization may appeal the decision to withhold official recognition by utilizing the Student and Community Appeals and Complaints process available under student resources on the website.
