Responsibilities of Recognition

With the privileges of recognition also come the responsibilities for organizations in order to maintain their relationship with the university. As representatives of Schreiner University, on and off campus activities should reflect the standards of the institution and abide by all rules and policies. The following expectations apply to all Recognized Student Organizations:

• Applying for university recognition annually through the Department of Student Activities. An overview of the student organization recognition process can be found in the Student Organization Rules and Policies section of this manual. Recognition must be granted before the student organization may begin operating.
• Adhering to all municipal, state, and federal laws, and Schreiner University rules and procedures.
• Remaining in good standing with the university, including full compliance with any conditions, stipulations, or restrictions placed upon organizational recognition.
• Keeping the Department of Student Activities informed of changes to organizational leadership or governing documents in a timely fashion.
• Demonstrating respect for the university community and other student organizations.
• Operating in a manner consistent with the mission and goals of the university and the governing documents of the organization.
• Consulting with the Department of Student Activities when planning events.
• Ensuring continuity in leadership from year to year by training newly selected leaders and maintaining good records.
