Suspending your group
It is the mission of the CSC’ s group management program to support student groups so that they can be sustainable and develop mutually beneficial relationships with community partners for the long term. Occasionally however, due to lack of interest, a changing relationship with a community partner, or an inability to match service needs with student schedules, it may be necessary for a group to go on hiatus.
If this is the case for your group, please notify your CSC advisor. He, she, or they will ask you to complete a Group Hiatus Form briefly explaining the situation, which will go into your student organization’ s CSC file. Your group will be marked as“ inactive” on Hopkins Groups, and your funding will be reallocated.
If you or another student would like to restart the inactive group, you may submit the New Group Registration Form by the annual fall deadline. New and re-starting student group applications are only accepted in the fall.
Please note— after consultation with the group president, groups may be changed to“ inactive” status by CSC staff if they:
• Fail to meet / do service with a community partner at least twice during a semester
• Repeatedly fail to submit required CSC registration / reporting forms by the stated deadlines
• Volunteer at a community partner site without verifying that a current MOU is on file
• Allow students to volunteer without submitting the CSC volunteer forms
• Ignore emails from CSC staff / interns
Inactive groups MUST return all durable goods purchased with CSC funds( such as instruments, books, cameras and similar items) within two weeks of moving to inactive status. Items purchased by groups using CSC funding are the property of the Center for Social Concern. Failure to return items promptly could result in disciplinary action.
