NEW STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS RECOGNITION & REGISTRATION PROCESS
New student organizations are required to register with the Office of Student Organizations to become an officially recognized group at Drury University.
The recognition & registration process provides your group with the opportunity to take full advantage of resources available to your organization and provides the Office of Student Involvement with relevant information regarding your organization to help us promote your organization to interested Drury students through publications, events, and our website.
Here is the process to register your new organization:
STEP 1:
COMPLETE ONLINE REGISTRATION AGREEMENT: The official registration agreement provides important information to the Office of Student Involvement and students interested in the group. http://www.drury.edu/studentlife/greeklife/Stu_Org.cfm
STEP 2:
SUBMIT CURRENT INFORMATION: Contact the Office of Student Involvement (FSC 120) for questions or assistance regarding required information.
- REGISTRATION AGREEMENT: The completed annual registration agreement must be on file with the Office of Student Involvement to be considered officially registered.
- STUDENT LEADERS: The student leader and student financial leader must be current, full-time, day school students. They are not allowed to be the same person.
- CAMPUS ADVISOR: The campus advisor must be a current full-time staff, faculty, or administrative professional at Drury University (Springfield Campus).
- OPERATIONAL DOCUMENTS: The current operational guidelines (i.e. constitution/bylaws) for the group must be on file with the Office of Student Involvement (electronic format preferred).
- GROUP LOGO: The current group logo must be on file with the Office of Student Involvement (electronic format required). It will be used on the group’s Drury University webpage.
- GROUP PHOTO: The current group logo must be on file with the Office of Student Involvement (electronic format required). The group photo is used in student organization publications.
STEP 3:
ATTEND STUDENT ORGANIZATION HANDBOOK WORKSHOP: The Office of Student Involvement provides regular training regarding the policies, procedures and resources available to Student Organizations.
After the registration agreement has been received, the student leader, student financial leader and campus advisor will be contacted regarding their required attendance at the dates of the next available student organization handbook workshop.
STEP 4:
REQUEST OFFICIAL RECOGNITION: Once your group has completed the registration agreement and submitted all necessary information and documents to the Office of Student Involvement, the information will be submitted to the Student Affairs Committee for review. The SAC will be looking at your group’s information for these things:
- DRURY MISSION: Is the purpose of the group aligned with the mission of Drury University?
- POLICY COMPLIANCE: Does the nature of the group follow university policies, federal, state, and local laws?
- STUDENT INVOLVEMENT: Does the group provide an opportunity for a new group of students to get involved? Will this group provide a unique experience for students at Drury University?
- GROUP AFFILIATION: Does the nature of the group require it to affiliate with a specific department on campus? Has the group already contacted this department to affiliate?
The SAC may also request a meeting with the student leader and the campus advisor of the group.
STEP 5:
RECEIVE OFFICIAL RECOGNITION CONFIRMATION: Once your group has completed the registration agreement, submitted all necessary information and documents, and been approved by the Student Affairs Committee, the student leader and campus advisor of the organization will receive an official recognition & registration confirmation letter from the Office of Student Involvement.
The student leader and the campus advisor should keep the official registration confirmation letter on file.
The group’s registration is effective for the remainder of the current academic year. At the start of the new academic year, the student organization will be required to complete the renewal process.
STEP 6:
COMPLETE NEW BUDGET ACCOUNT REQUEST FORM: New groups that do not have an existing Drury University budget account will need to have their campus advisor complete the New Budget Account Request Form and submit it to the Office of Student Involvement.
The form will be used to create a new budget account for the student organization. The campus advisor will manage the new budget account, but student leaders may review it as needed with the campus advisors assistance and permission.
