Recognition for Student Organizations
Part of BSG’s responsibility is to officially recognize student organizations on campus. Recognition is the first step in the appropriations process conducted by the BSG Appropriations Committee. In order for a club to receive funding from BSG, it must officially be recognized by BSG each year.
All student organizations must submit one recognition form per academic year. During this process, officers of fill out the current Student Organization Recognition Form, an updated member list and constitution. The template along with sample forms may be found on netspace: organizations>BSG-Finance>BSG Recognition Forms. Once the forms are completed, they must be emailed to Ginnie Moore (vmoore@bucknell.edu) by September 29, 2009. If the forms are not submitted on time, the organization's accounts, including dual, will be frozen.
New student organizations can apply for start up group recognition at any time throughout the year by completing the same form as above along with a member list and constitution. If approved, start up groups receive $65 for operating costs but cannot be appropriated additional funding during that time. In order to be considered a start up group for the fall semester and thus be eligible for a full budget in the spring, new student organizations must submit recognition forms by November 1. Similarly, in the spring semester, forms for new organizations must be submitted by April 1 in order to be eligible for a full budget in the fall. Following one semester of start up group status, the organization can apply for full recognition.
Any questions should be directed to the BSG VP Operations, Ali Jones (ali.jones@bucknell.edu), or Ginnie Moore in the CAP Center.
