  • Executive Board Office contact information (a minimum of 4 officers)

Reactivating a Student Organization

If your organization is inactive for more than one year, or has been a Tier III organization for more than one academic year, please learn more about starting a new organization.

Elections and Transition

All student organization executive board position terms should be from April thru March of the following academic year unless otherwise stated in the organization's constitution. New Executive Board officer information is due to the Office of Student Engagement in the month of April. This is done intentionally to allow for time in the month of April for the outgoing and incoming executive board members to successful transition.
