Recognition Process Instructions

We will begin accepting applications for
Fall recognition on Monday, August 3, 2009
The deadline to be recognized is Monday, October 5, 2009 at 5:00 pm.

ALL student organizations must be recognized for the 2009-2010 academic year. Organizations not recognized by this deadline will lose all privileges including the ability to apply for funding, request space, and access to website/email accounts.

The recognition process consists of five parts.

  1. The online application (must be submitted online). Please read all instructions on this page, and follow the link at the bottom of the page.

  2. The online advisor form. (must be submitted online)

  3. Constitution (this is only for brand new organizations, or if an organization has changed their constitution)

  4. Submit a roster with full names of all members (this can be updated as the year progresses)

  5. Attend a mandatory student organization meeting. Dates for Fall 09 are: Monday, August 31 from  4 pm - 5 pm in Bovard Auditorium, Wednesday, September 9 from 5 p – 6 pm in Groundzero and Tuesday, September 15 from noon – 1 pm in GroundZero. Student organizations will receive temporary recognition once their application is complete, but if they do not attend one of these meetings their recognition will be suspended.  New student organizations will need to meet with a PLC to satisfy this requirement.

    Please e-mail the Peer Leadership Consultants if one of those dates do not work for you.

Religious organizations only or those organizations looking to affiliate with the RCC.

  • Call 740-6110 to schedule a 15-30 minute interview
  • Print the Office of Religious Life form, partially fill it out and bring it with you to the interview
  • The Office of Religious Life will contact Campus Activities and inform us that the process has been completed.  There is no need to submit any paperwork from this interview

Before you being the application process, please read the following policies, instructional sections, and proceed to the bottom of the page.

After reading each policy, check the boxes on the application form that state  that you understand each policy and agree to have your student organization abide by all the policies. These boxes must be checked in order for your application to be processed.

Complete the entire application form.                                          
Incomplete applications or applications not submitted online WILL NOT be processed.                                                         

Submit a complete advisor form.                                                    
Your advisor needs to fill out and email the Advisor Form. (This application must be sent from the advisor's e-mail in order for it to be processed). The direct URL is: http://sait.usc.edu/stuorgs/pages/advform.asp. Advisor Forms are only accepted online.

Submit a constitution.                                                                                        
If your organization is new or has made changes to the existing constitution, you must submit a constitution to Hazel & Stanley Hall 100.

The deadline to be recognized for 2009-2010 is Monday, October 5, 2009 at 5:00 pm. Applications for renewing organizations will not be accepted after this date.

Recreational Sports Organizations                                                               
This application process is to provide University recognition to student organizations.  This does not grant access to membership within the Recreational Club Council (RCC).  Organizations must first obtain University recognition, then speak with Recreational Sports about RCC membership.

Notification                                                                                                         
An email will be sent to the contact person of each organization notifying them of any problems or if their recognition is complete. If the organization's recognition process is complete, they will be notified and their recognition letter will be emailed to them. A letter will also be sent to the advisor stating the organizations' recognition status for the academic year. Organizations will be contacted in approximately 48 hours (not including weekends or holidays) after receiving the completed application, advisor form and constitution (if needed). If there is a problem with the application, the contact person will be notified. It is the organization's responsibility to get recognized. As such, students should not just assume their organization is recognized just because the application was submitted. The student organization contact person should check-in with the PLC office (213.740.5341) to make sure their application is complete.


If you have read all the policies and agree to follow them, please proceed:
