TITLE: CAMPUS CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS

Student Clubs and Organizations are vital to the social, cultural, spiritual and recreational growth of students. LBCC recognizes the importance of such groups and encourages students, faculty and staff to develop clubs and organizations that will benefit students. To initiate a club, a minimum of eight students and one contracted faculty or staff member to serve as the advisor must complete a "Petition for Charter". Each "Petition for Charter" must include a statement of purpose, club goals, a student officer or representatives, names of eight LBCC students and the signature of a contracted staff or faculty member. All petitions that meet the requirements will be officially recognized by the Associated Student Government. After official recognition clubs may be eligible for annual funding as well as grants and loans.

All officially recognized clubs must follow college accounting procedures, administrative rules and policies. Clubs may be sanctioned, which may include loss of club status, if policies or procedures are not adhered to as outlined in the LBCC Club and Organization Manual, available in the Student Life and Leadership Office.

The Director of Student Leadership, Outreach & Retention and the Dean of Student Services are administratively responsible for all student clubs and organizations.
