Student Organizations Chartering A New Organization
To charter a new organization or club on the campus of Copiah-Lincoln Community College, the following procedure must be followed: 1. The students interested in forming the organization should select a faculty advisor. The faculty advisor must be a full-time faculty member or ad ministrative officer of Copiah-Lincoln Community College. Sponsors will allow students optimum freedom and responsibilities in planning and executing their activities, but the sponsor is expected to hold student leaders responsible for maintaining high standards of conduct in all activities. The sponsor also must attend all meetings and activities of the group and act as a liaison between the students, college administration and the business office. 2. Students interested in forming a new club, organization or activity should first conduct an organizational meeting to determine the interest among students. A strong interest will enable the Dean/Vice President to make a better decision. Generally, a turnout of at least 10 students may be sufficient for approval. 3. Secure an application for a charter from the office of the Dean of Student Services (Wesson Campus), Vice President of the Natchez Campus, or Vice President of the Simpson County Center. 4. Give all information required on the application and return it to the Dean of Student Services (Wesson Campus), Vice President of the Natchez Campus, or Vice President of the Simpson County Center. 5. The application will be reviewed by the Student Government Association (SGA). The SGA will recommend that the charter be issued or denied. 6. The application for the charter together with the recommendation of the SGA will be forwarded to the President of the college or Vice President of the campus. 7. The President or Vice President will either approve or disapprove the application. Upon his/her approval, a charter will be issued to the organization.
Copiah-Lincoln encourages student participation in decision making through various organizations and committees. These groups are the Student Government Association, President’s Cabinet, President’s Council, Dormitory Council, Budget Committee, and Food Service Committee.
