Reapplication for College Recognition
After completing the terms of Disciplinary Suspension , the student organization must re-apply to receive the full benefits of College Recognition during the established student organization renewal and registration periods . A request for reapplication consists of completing all imposed sanctions and a statement outlining how the student organization will avoid misconduct in the future . Upon receipt of the reapplication , Student Engagement staff will conduct an administrative review to ensure all sanctions have been completed within the time frame specified . Student organization leaders may also be required to meet with Student Engagement staff to review and discuss the expectations of student organizations .
Appeal Process
Student organization leaders may appeal to the Associate Dean of Student and Enrollment Services over Student Engagement within one week after receiving the written report from the Assistant Director of Student Engagement .
Reasons to appeal a decision may include :
• An error in the process outlined in this document occurred .
• Significant new evidence has become known after the sanctioning decision was made .
• Sanctions given are too severe in the opinion of the student organization leaders .
Should the Associate Dean of Student and Enrollment Services over Student Engagement find the record supports the grounds for the appeal , they may invoke an appropriate remedy to settle the complaint against the student organization .
Settlement
The process outlined in this document does not preclude a student organization from agreeing that misconduct did occur and to the imposition of a mutually agreed-upon sanction . Any such agreement will be made with the Assistant Director of Student Engagement and documented in writing . The signed written agreement will bind the organization to complete the mutually agreed upon sanction and conclude the case .
DISSOLVING AN ORGANIZATION
Organizations may choose to dissolve by their constitution . When doing so , contact Student Engagement to ensure appropriate steps are taken . Organizations that do not renew annually during the renewal and registration period will be considered dissolved , and Student Engagement will take the following action :
• The organization ’ s Cougar Connect portal will be disabled .
• Access to the organization ’ s Agency Account will be immediately removed . o The remaining funds will be held in the account until 18 months of inactivity . The funds will then be donated to the organization indicated on the most up-to-date Agency Account Set-Up Form .
