Student organizations may impose more restrictive requirements in their constitution(s) or bylaws. It is required that student organizations have at least: FIVE eligible students A president A secretary

19. Student Leadership Programs will be implementing a proposed policy pertaining to student involvement during pre-finals and finals week (to be voted on by the President’s Council this semester). The policy was created in an effort to ensure the students’ primary focus is on their curricular endeavors during pre-finals and finals weeks. Students must be able to devote their time to review in preparation for their final exams. Therefore, the following will be employed: No student organization may hold meetings or sponsor events during pre-finals or finals weeks. No co-curricular event or activity that requires students to plan, develop or attend may be held during pre-finals or finals weeks. This includes informal (e.g. team dinners, banquets, etc.) and formal (e.g. meetings) group gatherings.

20. The CSU mandates that no campus can recognize any fraternity, sorority, living group, honor society, or other student club/organization that discriminates on the basis of race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, color, age, gender, marital status, citizenship, sexual orientation, or disability. Student organizations found in violation of this could lose recognition and members/officers may be held accountable to through the judicial process outlined in the Student Code of Conduct.

21. Hazing is defined as requiring or encouraging any act, whether or not the act is voluntarily agreed upon, in conjunction with initiation or continued membership or participation in any group that causes or creates a substantial risk of causing mental or physical harm or humiliation. Official recognition of a student club/organization may be withdrawn for hazing or conspiracy to haze. (As defined in the California Code of Regulations, Title 5, Article 2, Standards for Student Conduct, Section 41301 (b)(8). Individual students may be disciplined for hazing under Section 41301(b)(8). In other words, you can not require one sub-group of individuals do any activity that you would not expect the entire group to do.

22. This data is provided for your review to highlight behaviors your organization might not realize are considered hazing. Please take a careful look.

23. All student activities departments at CSU campuses must abide by Executive Order No. 1006 that stipulates requirements relating to clubs/organizations. These requirements cover the following: – Chartering and recognition policies – Withholding and withdrawing recognition – Minimum number of students involved in an organization – Requirements of advisors – Off-Campus Student Activities – Club Sports Insurance Please see http://www.calstate.edu/eo/EO-1006.pdf for more information.http://www.calstate.edu/eo/EO-1006.pdf

24. Executive Order 1006 requires that all policies stated in the Student Code of Conduct apply to off-campus student organization-related activities. The Student Conduct Code sets the standard of expected behavior and describes conduct that is unacceptable and subject to discipline through the university's disciplinary process. For instance, this means that the Alcohol Policy applies to off campus Club-Related activities so if your organization has a meeting off campus, no attendees can drink alcohol (even if they are 21 years or older).

25. As previously stated, intoxication by any member of a University registered/recognized student organization at any University-sponsored on OR off-campus event is prohibited. The University Alcohol Policy is located at: http://policy.csuci.edu/SA/03/SA.03. 003.htm

26. A public showing (on or off campus) of a video/DVD at a student organization meeting or event may seem like a harmless, inexpensive form of entertainment but without a purchased special license it is not legal (even if shown by an advisor who is a faculty member). The SLP staff can provide recommendations of companies who provide the license to show the movie however, the organization must have the funding to pay for the license.

27. Students must fill out the Release of Liability Waiver form each time they engage in an event that could have increased physical risk. Examples include: hiking, playing sports, dancing, etc. Members of Sports Clubs or other organizations that involve regular physical activity are required to complete this as part of the renewal process.

28. Students should never sign a contract for their organization/the University. All contracts must be submitted to studentleadership@csuci.edu so that we may ensure the contract is signed by appropriate University personnel and protects the organization members and University from liability. studentleadership@csuci.edu Please allow approximately 3 weeks to process contracts. Students should never make any verbal or written agreements with outside entities until receiving approval from University. For instance, if a student organization wishes to assist with the implementation of an event sponsored by an off campus entity, the organization should not make any agreements until receiving approval from the SEAL Center. Additionally, outside entities should be encouraged to work with CI Events Services to implement their event as opposed to your organization.

30. A variety of forms are available on the Student Leadership Programs website at http://www.csuci.edu/studentleadership/clubs- organizations/club_organization_forms.htm to meet your needs. Virtually all forms are now 100% electronic (as of July 2011). http://www.csuci.edu/studentleadership/clubs- organizations/club_organization_forms.htm Whereas student organizations on other campuses often have to work with offices across campus to have their needs met, the SLP submits requests to campus entities on behalf of student organizations.
