Handbook Purpose

The information in the Student Unions & Activities Student Group Policy Handbook is provided as a resource to help leaders organize their student groups and plan for events. While the Student Unions & Activities Student Group Policy Handbook is intended to be a summary of matters of interest, it is not a comprehensive listing of all rules and regulations pertaining to student groups. The policies and rules enumerated herein are intended, in part, to clarify the University's relationship to registered student groups and also are intended to reflect the institution's concerns and interest for promoting awareness, values, and responsible behavior. It is important to note that when persons are functioning in the capacity of members of a registered student group, they will be held accountable for their conduct individually and collectively.

Administrative clarification and interpretation of the Student Unions & Activities Student Group Policy Handbook can be obtained from the Director of Student Unions & Activities and designated members of the Student Unions & Activities (SUA) staff.

Please be aware that University departments may have their own procedures and policies that apply to student groups, which are not listed in the Student Unions & Activities Student Group Policy Handbook. Persons with questions are encouraged to inquire with these respective departments and units.

We encourage you to utilize this handbook and our website as a reference manual for your respective student group. In addition, Student Unions & Activities advising staff is available to assist you with your questions and/or concerns. SUA serves the University as advisors, educators, and administrators for students and student groups in order to create and foster leadership and involvement opportunities that enhance personal, interpersonal, and organizational development.
