Registration Process:
To ensure the longevity of your organization, make sure at the end of the spring semester, you complete all steps in the 2022 organization transition packets.
ALL Organizations MUST register with the Office of Campus Activities every spring semester to remain active and receive all eligible privileges.
During the month of February, the Office of Campus Activities will email transition packets to the existing top 4 executive board leaders (President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer). The steps in these packets are to be completed by both the outgoing executive board as well as the newly elected executive board for the organization. A transition training will be held by SGI on April 12th and will focus on ensuring a proper transition for materials not involved in the transition packet
All Organization Transition steps must be completed no later than March 31, 2022 by 5PM. Upon receipt, the new information is entered into our database and the new executive board will receive information regarding the budget, Activity Grant in Aid, and other valuable material.
Note: Should your organization’s officers change mid-year, notify your Student Affairs Advisor and the office of Campus Activities immediately.
Should the material not be submitted to the Office of Campus Activities, there is no way of knowing who new student leaders are and Campus Activities cannot be responsible for the budget and other penalties, including loss of financial privileges.
Organizational Congress Meeting
Organizational Congress Meeting
Twice a semester Student Government, Inc holds mandatory organizational congress meetings. The purpose of these meetings is to update student leaders on information that might affect their group, to allow for dialogue between student leaders and SGI, and to create an opportunity for networking between student leaders and administration. Note: Remember to sign in and sign out. Your organization will be considered absent without both signatures.
Should your organization not have representation at an organization congress meeting, the organization’s SGI budget will be fined 5%.
Student Leadership Training (SLT)
Student Leadership Training (SLT)
All top four executive board members (President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer) of an organization are required to attend the annual Student Leadership Conference. Registration for the conference is included in the Executive Board Registration form that each incoming officer must complete during the spring semester. To receive credit for attending the SLT, student leaders must also complete an online training beforehand to learn about key policies and procedures that they will encounter as a student leader.
If one (1), two (2), or three (3) members of the Executive Board miss the SLT, your organization will be fined 10% of your SGI Budget for each member who is absent. (1 absent member = 10% fine, 2 absent members = 20% fine, etc.) To avoid being fined, the absent member(s) may resign and the organization can elect someone to fill the position(s) in the fall to serve for the remainder of the term. Any individual who missed the SLT is not eligible to run for their previously held position unless approved by their advisor.
Membership & Roster
Membership & Roster
