Recognition of Organizations

All officially recognized undergraduate organizations have the privilege of using Harvard College’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.

The following is required of all undergraduate organizations:

• 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).

• A signed Adviser Agreement Form. The adviser must be an employee of the University and should have a personal interest or professional expertise in the organization he or she is advising.

• Reasonable evidence of ability to meet its financial obligations.

• Attendance at required training sessions held annually. The Treasurer/Financial Officer of each organization must attend one financial training workshops. The President (or designated officer of the organization) must attend one other leadership development training workshop.

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. Failure to meet these requirements will cause an organization to be placed on probation and to lose all privileges given to recognized student organizations.
