Benefits for (re)registering your club

Club leaders are asked to re-register their club annually at the Student Services Office by mid-March to obtain:

1. Campus Life Committee (CLC) approval early enough to accommodate club promos early in September 
2. the privilege to use campus venues, equipment and transportation 
3. the right to advertise on campus (in Campus Connections or on monitors, etc.) during the coming year 
4. the right to request and organize a Saturday night fundraising event for the Campus Calendar 
5. and the annual $200 funding benefit

A club is not officially recognized by Burman University until re-registration is approved by Campus Life Committee. It is their mandate to ensure that all aspects of campus life comply with the university college values, policies and procedures as incorporated in the Student Handbook, the Faculty and Staff Policies, the Seventh-day Adventist Church Manual and the North American Division Working Policy.
