Registration of a Student Organization Any student organization which develops objectives that are consistent with the mission of the University is eligible for registration. It is recommended that a student organization have 10 members to start, but at minimum must be able to list four officers and at least one staff/faculty as an advisor. Any group of students wishing to begin a new student organization must petition the University for official recognition by completing an online form and attending a session for students wishing to start a new organization. Once an online form is completed, and a session is attended, the organization approval can be considered. The online form can be found on ENGAGE at https://engage.kutztown.edu. Click "Sign In" on the upper right corner. Click the Organizations. Then, click the "register a new organization" button. There is a three-tier pyramid classification system of student organizations. Although the privileges and responsibilities increase as a group moves higher in the pyramid, all groups must register with the Office for Student Involvement each academic year and update the registration form each time any information changes. Organization Classification System Different students have varied levels of interest and participation in student organizations. In order to meet these varied needs, there is a three-tier system that exists in order for student organizations to become recognized by either the University or the Student Government Association, or both. REGISTERED student organizations usually include those groups that simply want to reserve University facilities for meetings and programs. These groups may be granted the following University privileges by meeting the requirements for registration (enrolled, activity fee, paying students, organization member requirements, good academic and financial standing with the university). Groups with registered status have the following privileges: • Use of “Kutztown University” as part of the organization’s name; • Use of University facilities for organization meetings and programs; • Limited participation in the campus sales and solicitation process; • Utilization of the campus circulated mail service; • Use of bulletin boards, activities calendar, Bear Essentials, and KU Daily Brief for advertising which conforms to regulations; • Use of Engage software program for enhanced engagement; and • Other appropriate privileges as approved by the president of Kutztown University.
