Privileges
Recognized student clubs enjoy the following privileges:
- Use of the name of the College in the club title (guidelines apply).
- Use of college facilities such as meeting rooms, event space, bulletin boards, and digital display advertising.
- Requests for funding from the Associated Students of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµÍø (ASCWI).
- Use of the Business Office for banking services.
- Assistance from the Office of Student Engagement.
- Inclusion in the online directory of student clubs.
- Maintenance of a web page attached to the College’s website (guidelines apply).
Clubs may be established within the College for any legal purpose. Clubs focus may be religious, political, educational, economic, or social.
As a general rule, membership in a recognized college organization must be open to all students. Additionally, a student may not be denied the rights of access to and participation in any college-sponsored or college-approved activity because of race, age, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, veteran status, or disability.
Membership for Academic Organizations
Clubs that are academically focused, such as those related to specific majors or fields of study, must still be open to all students unless they are governed by a national organization with specific membership requirements.
For example, a club for business students cannot limit its membership solely to students in the business program. Any student who wishes to join must be allowed to do so. The only exception would be if the club is a chapter of a national association (like the Student Nurses Association) or an honor society that has specific GPA or course requirements. In these cases, the club must adhere to the membership guidelines set forth by its national affiliation.
