V. MAIN CAMPUS STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS: POLICIES AND REGULATIONS
Membership participation in student organizations can be a meaningful part of a student’s educational
experience at IIT. Valuable lessons in leadership, planning and organization are some of the benefits of
involvement in organizations on campus. Membership in student organizations is open to all regularly

A. Organizational Recognition
Student organizations must apply for and maintain university recognition with the Office of Campus Life.
Staff members will work with individuals wishing to form a new student organization. Organizations in the
formation stage will be assigned a liaison in the Office of Campus Life and are required to meet with their

Campus Life. Once the constitution has been reviewed and Campus Life criteria have been met, the
organization will complete the formal recognition form. The Office of Campus Life reserves the right to
withhold recognition from those prospective organizations whose purpose may be in conflict with the
institutional mission or operation of the university.
Recognized organizations can maintain their recognition by registering the organization with the Office of
