Recognized Graduate Student Organizations


Petition for Student Group Recognition

Student group recognition is granted for the term of one year beginning September 1. Petitions for recognition must be renewed annually between September 1 and September 30 of that year.

A graduate student group recognized by the Graduate Student Senate is afforded all of the rights and privileges as described under Article VI, section B of the Graduate Student Senate Bylaws and are also to be held accountable to the CWRU Student Rights and Responsibilities policy published in the CWRU General Bulletin and Student Services Guide. Recognition is conditional upon acceptance of that policy and the following terms:

  • The membership of the organization must consist of at least 50% full or part-time CWRU graduate students.
  • The organization not restrict its membership or participation in its activities on the basis of handicap, race, sex, sexual preference, age, religion, or national or ethnic origin (through affirmation of the CWRU anti-discrimination policy in the group's constitution or bylaws).

Upon receipt and processing of this form the Graduate Student Senate Student Organizations and Allocations Committee will request a copy of the ratified bylaws for the organization seeking recognition in order to verify that the organization meets the requirements set forth for recognition.

The Graduate Student Senate reserves the right to revoke recognition from any group found to not adhere to all the policies and regulations governing recognized graduate student groups.

This electronic petition will only be processed if accompanied by a valid email address for the person submitting the petition. Petition forms are available as hard copy through the Graduate Studies office.
