How to form a student organization

The following is the University policy as published in the University of Connecticut Laws and By-Laws.

1. The University recognizes the right of any group of students to form a voluntary organization for any purpose not forbidden by law. If an organization composed chiefly or exclusively of students desires to hold meetings in University buildings, it is required to have an advisor who is a member of the professional staff of the University and to file with the associate dean for finance and administration such information as may be required about its purposes, officers, memberships, dues and the like, such information to be uniform for all organizations. An organization which has fulfilled these requirements is called a registered organization. The University as such assumes no responsibility for registered organizations or their programs.

2. So far as its facilities permit, the University will provide each registered organization with suitable meeting places without charge, and will endeavor to encourage and protect complete freedom of expression within the law in meetings of such organizations. The responsibility for any views expressed in such meetings is solely that of the individuals concerned; and the University is not to be held to approve or disapprove of such views, whatever their nature, but to be concerned exclusively with the discharge of its educational obligation to facilitate free expression of all points of view, to the extent guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States and of the State of Connecticut. The University does not pass upon the qualifications of speakers whom registered organizations invite to address them, nor, except as to the availability of space, on the number or size of meetings which may be held.

3. The name of the University shall not be used by any group not duly authorized as a part of the University, nor by any individual, without the approval of the President. Registered organizations are considered to be `not duly organized as a part of the University.' In authorizing or denying the use of the name of the University, the President will in general be guided by the need of making clear to the public the nature of the relationship of the organization in question to the University.

Requests to register as a student organization should be submitted to the assistant dean for finance and administration.

Arrangements for student sponsored activities

Student organizations or individual students or groups of students wishing to sponsor activities of any type to be held on the campus of the Law School should comply with the following procedures.

Contact the Communications/Information Center in the lobby of Hosmer Hall, Room 103, 860.570.5000, to arrange to reserve the space desired for the meeting or activity being planned.

Obtain from the person on duty at the Communications/Information Center the School of Law Room Reservation Form. Complete the form and present it to the Office of the Associate Dean for Finance and Administration for approval. Copies of the approved form will be distributed to the appropriate individuals and departments.

Arrangements for student-sponsored activities which may require special services on the part of Maintenance and/or the Department of Public Safety should be made a minimum of four weeks in advance of the planned event. The sponsoring organization or students are required to reimburse the University for the cost of such services. If in doubt as to whether such special services will be required, the sponsoring organization or students should contact the assistant dean for finance and administration well in advance of the event being planned.

The University requires the purchase of special event insurance for events that involve serving alcoholic beverages. The cost is generally $250-$300 per event and should be purchased ten days prior to the event. Consult the assistant dean for finance and administration regarding purchasing procedures.

Political campaigns and student organizations

The following guidelines have been provided by the University.

The facilities may be used by an organization as long as all publicity regarding events of this nature make it clear that the University is neither sponsoring nor endorsing the event. Furthermore, the organization must assume full responsibility for the facilities during the event.

A student organization can endorse a candidate for political office and can work on behalf of the candidate.

The organization cannot expend funds which it acquires from student fees (i.e., from the SBA) on behalf of the candidate. If, on the other hand, the organization raises money on its own, it can expend such funds.
