PROCEDURES
FOR STARTING A NEW STUDENT ORGANIZATION http://osa.tamuk.edu/organizations/ There
are many clubs and organizations at Texas A&M-Kingsville. However, if
an organization you are looking for doesn’t exist, we encourage you to
begin your own. The steps for creating an organization are listed below. A
full manual of information for student organizations can be found online
at http://osa.tamuk.edu/organizations/handbook
1.
Schedule an
appointment to meet with the Assistant Director of Student Activities. As
the staff member who works with student organizations, he/she will advise
you on the process and provide the necessary forms to get your
organization off the ground 2.
Draft a Statement
of Purpose. It will be important for you to create a statement of
purpose, which will be submitted with other paperwork to complete your
recognition. 3.
Complete an
Information Sheet outlining your organization’s leadership. 4.
Provide a Constitution/By-Laws/Other
Governing Documents. All organizations must submit (and update anytime
there are changes) a constitution and any other governing documents, such
as by-laws. These will also routinely need to be updated every two years. 5.
Submit a Membership
Roster. Your proposed organization will need at least 10 members to be
recognized. Organizations
may be proposed at any time, however the process is not complete until
voted upon by the Student Government Association. Once the process is
complete, you will be notified in writing of your organization’s
recognition. For a list of guidelines for approval of Greek organizations
and the privileges of registered organizations, consult the Student
Activities website. All
questions and matters concerning student organizations should be addressed
to the Assistant Director of Student Activities in room 301 of the
Memorial Student Union, or by calling 593-2760.
