• Student Welfare Committee
• University President - If there are issues, Student Life will contact the organization regarding the issue.
- If documents are not approved by either of the first two preceding groups, changes will be recommended to the petitioning group and documents may be resubmitted for approval. Upon authorization of the Student Welfare Committee, the Student Senate has the right to rescind recognition from a student organization if the group deviates from its stated purpose, violates their constitution, or no longer is able to remain active because of lack of leadership or student interest.
- Your president will receive an email when the organization has been approved.
