• If an organization fails to register by the deadline their student organization privileges will be temporarily suspended until the registration process is completed. If their registration is not completed by the end of September, the organization will lose their privileges for the remainder of the year and will not be allowed to renew their registration until the following academic year. Organization privileges include but are not limited to reserving meeting rooms and event space, utilizing organization accounts, and holding events.
