Star Recognition Process

Star Recognition Process

Each year, student organizations are required to complete the Star Recognition process with the Student Life and Engagement Office to be verified as a registered student organization.  An organization will be classified as deactivated upon failure to complete the Star Recognition process. Deactivated organizations cannot exercise any of the privileges granted to registered student organizations.

The Star Recognition ensures that every registered student organization abides by the rules and regulations set forth by the University Student Code of Conduct and the Student Life and Engagement office. The Star Recognition will provide student leaders the opportunity to cultivate programming that fosters a sense of community and spirit on campus.
