Achieving and Renewing Recognition:
In order to exercise the privileges accorded to recognized organizations, organizations must annually submit a registration packet to the Center for Student Involvement. This includes submitting a current roster of members and officers, updated constitution and by-laws, statement of compliance regarding Adelphi University’s hazing policy, and if applicable a current budget report. Additionally each semester student organizations must provide the Center for Student Involvement with their meeting information including its location, time, and regularity.


Recognition Requirements:
An organization is a voluntary special interest group organized for educational, social, and service purposes. Organizations that request funding from the Student Government Association are required to be recognized by the university. However, recognition from the Center for Student Involvement does not guarantee recognition from the Student Government Association as they have their own recognition requirements. Recognition as an organization requires the following:

1. New student organizations must not duplicate the purpose of an already established Adelphi University recognized student organization.
2. Organizations must be established for purposes that do not violate local, state or federal law; are consistent with the broad educational mission of the university; and are supportive of the regulations, guidelines and policies of Adelphi University. The university recognizes that some student organizations may have a purpose to advocate for a change in existing law and this provision does not prevent the student organization from exercising its First Amendment Right to do so.
3. A minimum of fifteen members, all of whom must be Adelphi University undergraduate students in good standing at the University with at least a 2.0 G.P.A. (2.3 for Executive Board members) and not on probation is required.
4. Recognition must be renewed each semester.
5. Adelphi University recognizes that a nondiscriminatory environment complements its commitment to academic inquiry, intellectual discourse and personal growth. Adelphi University also recognizes the interests of students to organize and associate with like-minded students. Accordingly, any individual who subscribes to the goals and beliefs of a student organization may participate in and become a member of the organization. Membership and participation in the organization must be open to all students without regard to race, color, sex, age, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, disability, or status as a U.S. veteran.
6. The organization must be nonprofit in nature.
7. The student organization must have an advisor who is currently a full-time faculty or staff member at Adelphi University.
8. Each semester the student organization must sponsor a minimum of one (1) community service/philanthropic event and two (2) social events.
9. The club must participate in all Center for Student Involvement Activities Fairs. There will be a minimum of one Activity Fair per semester and one per each Freshmen Orientation Session.
10. The organization must complete all appropriate paperwork correctly and in a timely fashion.
11. The organization will not enter the University into any contractual agreement without its knowledge and approval.
12. The organization will create a safe environment at all official sponsored events and meetings.

Denial of Recognition
Recognition of organizations will be denied by the Center for Student Involvement when:

• The student organization requesting registration has not complied with all registration requirements.
• The request for registration contains false material or information to be disclosed for registration.
• The request involved an organization that is under a sanction imposed by the Center for Student Involvement or other governing body.
• The student organization requesting registration has not fully complied with the policies of the Center for Student Involvement.

Club Probation
Those student organizations which do not comply with the organization’s responsibilities outlined in this, or violate University policies will be put on probation. Sanctions and the length of probation will be determined on an individual basis by the Center for Student Involvement in consultation with the organization in violation. Any organization that fails to fulfill the program requirements will automatically be put on probation for a length of one semester during which time they must comply with the Center for Student Involvement's program requirement. The organization’s president and advisor will be notified of the sanction in writing by the Center for Student Involvement. The probation is considered a warning period. If the club/organization fails to adhere to the sanction or correct the situation, recognition will be terminated.


Termination of Recognition
Is granted and governed by the Division of Student Affairs – Center for Student Involvement. This recognition may be terminated for the following reasons:

• Request of the registered student organization.
• Submission of material for recognition known or determined by the Center for Student Involvement to be false.
• Failure to reregister annually by the stated deadline.
• Failure to follow University regulations governing organizations.
• Failure to follow University policies, procedures, State of New York and Federal Laws.
• Failure to adhere to or correct the situation that caused the organization to be placed on probation.
• Being placed on probationary status for two of the last four semesters.
• Request of the national organization chartering the Adelphi organization.

Note:
If recognition is terminated the organization may not reapply for recognition for a minimum of two complete academic semesters from the termination date.
