REGISTRATION OF STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
In order to function at King's College, all student organizations must be registered with the student activities office. This allows a group to have a college advisor, use college facilities, meeting rooms, student activities mailboxes, college business office accounts, publicize events, receive funding from student government, participate in the Activities and Christmas fairs, and be included in all mailings to student organizations. In order to activate a club/organization that has been inactive for a period of time, the following procedures also need to be followed.

Procedures:
1. Student(s) who want to start a new organization on campus should meet with the director of student activities to explain the purpose of the new campus group. The director will explain the procedures necessary to be registered by the college.
2. There should be a sufficient number of students who want to join the newly formed organization in order to plan events and programs effectively (usually 20 members as a minimum).
3. After meeting with the student activities director, the students who are organizing the new group need to draft a constitution that will be approved later by the members of the newly formed organization. The constitution should include the organization's name, statement of purpose, criteria for membership, and the organization's procedures. This constitution contains the procedures and guidelines for the organization to function effectively.
4. The newly formed or activated organization is required to have a college advisor selected from the faculty, staff, or administration of the college. The director of student activities will explain the way in which the recommendations for an advisor are to be made. The appointment of advisors is made by the associate vice president for student affairs in consultation with the director of student activities.
5. All student clubs/organizations are required to deposit their funds in the college business office.
6. The newly formed or reactivated organization must adhere to all policies, regulations, guidelines, and procedures of King's College.
7. An annual renewal of registration of all clubs/organizations takes place during March of each academic year. Information concerning the re-registration process is sent to the club/organization advisor. Clubs/organizations that do not renew their registration according to the procedures determined by the student activities office are considered inactive for the following academic year, and are not able to participate in the fall Activities Fair. The election of new officers is required to be completed by the end of March.
