Alvernia College strives to support the integration of formal classroom knowledge with extracurricular learning experiences. Through the formal recognition of student groups and organizations, the College encourages students to develop clubs, programs, and events that support and exemplify the core values and the mission of the College.

No student organization may function officially on campus unless its constitution is on file with the College in the Office of Student Activities. Procedures for recognition of student organizations are available below.

The purpose of this policy is to ensure that Officers of the College; such as the President, Provost or the Vice Presidents; and the Alvernia College Student Government Association (SGA) grant the ultimate approval of new clubs and organizations. The development and recognition of new clubs and organizations may involve a commitment of college funds and possible exposure to liability and therefore, must receive approval by the Officers of the College and the Alvernia College Student Government Association.
