Policy: 6.14 Student Services

Adoption Date: January 27, 2016 Revised

SPONSORSHIP OF STUDENT ACTIVITIES

Faculty sponsors allow students optimum freedom and responsibility in planning and executing their activities. Faculty sponsors also are to (1) attend all meetings and activities of the group they sponsor and to remain until the close of the activity; (2) act as liaison between students, administration, and the business office; (3) take such measures as may be necessary to protect the college buildings, property, and equipment; (4) sign applications for approval of activities to be scheduled by the dean of students; (5) sign purchase orders; (6) submit information to the dean of students concerning meeting times and places and list of officers of the group; and (7) when travel is involved for the student organization, the faculty sponsor must travel with the students. Certain organizations do not choose their advisor(s), rather they are assigned a full-time faculty or staff person by the college who volunteers to sponsor the organization. Established full-time faculty or staff members who reduce employment hours below full-time status and maintain an office on campus may continue to function as an advisor of a student organization with the approval of the Student Service Officer.

STUDENT ORGANIZATION FUNDS

Payment of the activity fee at the time of registration entitles a student to admission to any district‑sponsored event unless otherwise published. Students may earn funds for club activities through projects approved by the dean of students. The bookstore will handle the sale of all school supplies and books. The Chief Financial Officer serves as custodian of all student activity funds.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR STUDENTS

The district provides financial assistance to needy and/or deserving students through grants, scholarships, loans, and part‑time employment. Students in need of financial assistance should be referred to the financial aid office.
