Recognition of Organizations

All officially recognized undergraduate organizations have the privilege of using Harvard's name and its facilities with limitations (detailed in the Student Organizations Handbook). Complete information on the procedures that should be followed to obtain recognition is found in the Student Organizations Handbook, available from the Office of the Dean of Harvard College in University Hall, First Floor or at www.college.harvard.edu/student/activities.

• A constitution and by-laws whose membership clause shall not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or physical disability.
• A complete list of officers (all must be registered undergraduates in good standing) and members (at least ten undergraduates).
• Signed letters of acceptance from two faculty advisers. Both must be officers of FAS and at least one adviser must be a faculty member with voting privileges within the Faculty.
• Reasonable evidence of ability to meet its financial obligations.
• Attendance at annual financial training workshops offered by the Student Activities Office is required for the Treasurer and President of each organization.

Official recognition follows upon recommendation of the Committee on College Life. To maintain official status, groups must register each October with the Office of the Dean of Harvard College.
