Student organizations may be classified at one of three statuses in Bulldog Connect. An organization's status is dependent upon a variety of factors, including missing registration information, disciplinary sanction, or inactivity.
ACTIVE status indicates that a student organization is in good standing with Kirby Student Center. The organization has completed required training, has an updated and accurate roster including officers, and is eligible for the full set of privileges that come with its classification (RSO or CLP).
Student organizations are placed IN TRANSITION at the end of the academic year, when re-registration for the following year is required. The Student Development Coordinator will contact all organizations to provide them with the deadline for updating rosters, officer lists, and contact information. While an organization is In Transition, it is still able to take advantage of the same set of privileges as when in Active status.
An organization may be placed at INACTIVE status for a variety of reasons:
1) the organization may not have completed its transition requirements for the year;
2) the organization may be under disciplinary sanction from Kirby or OSCCR; or
3) the organization may have dissolved or gone dormant.
When an organization is placed at Inactive status, it is no longer eligible for any of the privileges of registered organizations. It is no longer considered a recognized organization by Kirby Student Center and therefore the University.
ℹ️ If a group is Inactive because it failed to complete transition requirements or dissolved, rights to the group name and Bulldog Connect page are forfeit. The group name becomes available to any other interested students, who may use it so long as they comply with the student organization setup and registration process.
ℹ️ If a group is Inactive due to disciplinary action, the organization's name and Bulldog Connect page are not available for other groups to use. The sanctioned organization may be eligible for a reduced amount of privileges while at Inactive status, per an agreement between the organization and Kirby. The organization will be returned to Active status when the conditions of its disciplinary sanction have been fulfilled.
