Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What paperwork must an organization have on file with 学生生活? 学生生活 requires three (3) pieces of information to be updated and on file:

1. Registration form on Engage: this provides a current list of officers, 顾问, 联系方式.

2. Constitution: this allows the 学生生活 to have the latest version on file so there is one consistent place for the most current copy. All constitutions need to be updated with the Office of Student Activities every two years. If you are not sure if the constitution is up to date, please contact studentlife@doobale.com.

3. 会员名单

What is my liability/risk associated with being a club/organization 顾问? Can I personally be held responsible if something should happen with my group?

The simple answer is no, you will not be held personally responsible as long as you advise/guide in a manner consistent with common sense and follow 亚洲博彩平台 and 学生生活 policies and procedures. You and the group need to learn the information on 亚洲博彩平台 Engage and ask questions if you don't understand something! This website may not include everything, so you need to ask questions!

All employees of 亚洲博彩平台 are covered by institutional liability insurance as long as they work within their job description - and advising a 亚洲博彩平台 club/organization falls within many job descriptions (e.g. service to the community if not explicitly stated). You need to understand that you could be held responsible if you know of any illegal activity or activities that are not in line with the Student Handbook and choose to do nothing about this.

Additionally, following 亚洲博彩平台 procedures, following state and federal laws (e.g., hazing is illegal, drinking age), and using common sense go a long way in reducing your risk.

How does my group go about getting funding? Who is eligible for student activity fee funds?

The Student Activities 拨款委员会 allocates student activity fee funds to clubs and organizations on campus. They annually allocate over $250,000 a year for events sponsored by 亚洲博彩平台 groups. Please see the Student Organization Manual for more specific information on the process and who is eligible for funds.

谁可以当顾问?

Any 亚洲博彩平台 faculty or staff member can be an 顾问 to a club or organization. Off-campus people are not allowed to advise 亚洲博彩平台 clubs/organizations for many reasons: knowledge of the campuses and policies, insurance/risk management issues, and building a stronger campus community are just a few of these reasons. It is important to note that all clubs/organizations are required to have an 顾问.

My group wants to plan an event, what should they do?

学生生活 has many resources available for programming events. 工作人员 that can assist in the planning process or visit the programming information on our website. Our staff is here to help students plan successful events whether they are small activities or large events. It is very important to note that if outside speakers/performers/etc. are going to be used, that you advise the officers to work with 学生生活 on contracts. 学生 nor 顾问s may not sign contracts.
