Recognition, Club or Organization
In order to use Carroll’s name as a club or an organization and to qualify for ability to apply for college funds, the club or organization’s purpose must be consistent with the college’s mission statement and the group must be approved by the ASCC and the Dean of Students. The steps for being recognized by the ASCC are as follows:
- Notify the Director of Student Activities and Leadership and the ASCC President about intention to apply for club or association status;
- Hold a meeting of interested students;
- Write a club/association constitution that specifies:
- Name of club
- Club affiliation (if any)
- Purpose of club
- Membership of club
- List of officer positions and responsibilities
- Club advisor (Carroll College faculty or staff member)
- Meetings of club
- Election and replacement of officers
- Process for amending the constitution
- Email the draft of the club constitution to the ASCC Executive Vice President, the Director of Student Activities and Leadership and the Dean of Students to review and edit. After the consideration of the suggested edits to the proposed club constitution, the final copy of the constitution will be sent to the ASCC Executive Vice President to put on the agenda for the next ASCC Senate meeting.
- Attend Senate meeting to present constitution and to answer questions. Constitution will be posted outside of ASCC President’s office until next Senate meeting when a vote will be held to recommend to the Dean of Students that Carroll College should provide institutional recognition to the club or organization. The Dean of Students will review the recommendation and report back to the ASCC Officers with a final decision regarding recognition.
- If a club fails to send a representative to the ASCC House of Representatives meetings for a semester, the ASCC Executive Committee can declare that club no longer in association with Carroll.
