Sports Clubs

The possibilities for establishing student clubs and organizations are unlimited. A student group wanting to be registered as a student club organization must complete a registration form which is found on the Associated Student Government (ASG) bulletin board outside the ASG Office, located in the Student Union Building. ASG and Dean of Students approval is needed for all new clubs and organizations. Approved clubs and organizations are eligible for limited funding for activities and projects

ASG Constitution, pages 73-74:

Article XI: Club Funding

All student organizations borrowing funds from the ASG are required to reimburse ASG before the semester ends or forfeit the remainder of the account balance.

  1. A club must present to ASG a report of what the club accomplished in both written and oral form. The written report should also be accompanied by an expense breakdown. A simple spreadsheet with dates, amounts, and purpose.

  2. ALL clubs are required to appoint a Treasurer as a single point of contact for financial matters before any funds are disbursed.

  3. A $500.00 ceiling will be implemented for club proposals for the first semester of an active club, with a graduated system of an additional $500.00 per semester up to $1,500.00 total if the club is in good standing and fulfills the proposal policies.

  4. Any club not fulfilling the requirements set forth by the ASG would automatically become ineligible for funds for the next semester. Beyond that, it is required that the club write a corrective action plan before being considered for funding again. If this plan satisfies the ASG, then they could be funded again at the low first-year rate of $500.00.

  5. A club can be dissolved at any point if the ASG deems it necessary.

Article X: Clubs and Organizations

To obtain official recognition, clubs and organizations must present applications for club recognition, which is reviewed and approved by the officers, representatives, advisors, and the Dean of Students.

  1. In order to be recognized as an official club/organization, one representative must attend an ASG-sponsored meeting and receive a Club Financial Account and Requisition Procedure Packet.

  2. Approved IAIA clubs and organizations will elect one representative to the ASG who attends the meetings of the student government. The representative cannot vote on issues of the ASG unless the representative is already a voting member of the ASG.

  3. All treasurers of IAIA clubs and organizations must report financial statements to The ASG Treasurer.

  4. Approval of IAIA clubs and organizations will receive initial funding of $200 from the ASG. After this initial funding, clubs and organizations will be self-sustaining.

  5. No student can be excluded from joining a student club or organization.

  6. Student removal from a club is contingent upon ASG review. Unruly or disruptive behavior may be a basis for removal.

So, what do you do when you have an interest in a specific activity or club that is not currently being offered on this campus. Rather than accept its absence, create it! Starting your own club takes initiative and can be a lot of work, but the reward is well worth the effort.
