Organization Orientation and Risk Management is required for all student organizations. In this session, we will discuss all of the registration requirements for organizations, applicable policies and procedures, navigating Get Involved, event registration, and resources for RSOs across campus. Per State of Texas House Bill 2639/Senate Bill 1138, enacted by the 80th Texas Legislature, all registered student organizations at the University of Houston must also attend an annual Risk Management Education which will be included in the program. We will cover information about alcohol and drug use and prevention, sexual harassment and sexual assault prevention and response, fire and firearm safety, food safety, and services for students with disabilities. This is the ideal starting place for organizations to gain the most information on how to complete the registration process!

Student Life Policies > Registered Student Organizations Policy

Registered Student Organizations Policy
1. General Statement of Purpose
The University recognizes:

1. the importance of organized student activities as an integral part of the total educational program of the University;

2. that college learning experiences are enriched by student organizational activity; and

3. that organizations provide a framework for students within which they may develop their own special talents and interests.

Inherent in the relationship between the University and organized student groups is the understanding that the purposes and activities of such groups should be consistent with the main objectives of the University.

All student organizations must register annually with the Center for Student Involvement and must then comply with the procedures and policies regarding registration as set forth.

The Dean of Students Office recognizes the role of Greek Coordinating Councils in establishing and upholding policies for member groups. However, membership in said councils does not exempt fraternities and sororities from judicial referrals to the Dean of Students Office for violations of Student Life Policies, including Registered Student Organizations Policies.

The University Hearing Board, with the approval of the Dean of Students, delegates to Greek coordinating councils general oversight over those chapters of social sororities and fraternities which choose to be members of these councils.

The term "general oversight is defined as all the duties, powers and responsibilities exercised by the Greek coordinating council including, but not limited to, judicial hearings, sanctioning, and event approval.

It is understood that the Greek coordinating councils and their member groups will operate under the provisions of the Student Life Policies, including the Organizations Policy.
2. Procedure for Registration of New Organizations

1. The group will complete a required Orientation and Risk Management training with the Center for Student Involvement to become aware of university policies and expectations of registered student organizations.

2. The group will file its name, constitution regarding its method of operation, faculty/staff advisor, and the names of its officers or contact persons with the Center for Student Involvement through Get Involved.

3. At the time of filing through Get Involved, three officers or contact persons for the organization will agree to a statement indicating that they are familiar with and will abide by the aforementioned responsibilities of student organizations. They will also agree to the standard hazing and discrimination disclaimer required of all student organizations.

4. Having ascertained that the group's purpose is lawful and within university regulations and that the group has filed the required forms and disclaimers, the Assistant Director of Center for Student Involvement, or designee, will approve the application. Appropriate university personnel are notified by Center for Student Involvement that the group is then eligible for all of the rights of student organizations.

5. Should the staff feel that the organization does not meet the requirements for registration, notification of the decision and reasons will be furnished to the applying organization. The group may appeal the decision to the Dean of Students.

6. Decisions of the University Hearing Board may be appealed to the Dean of Students.

Membership Regulations

1. Registered student organizations must be open to all persons of the University community without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability, veteran status, or sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.

2. Applications, interviews, and resume reviews should not be utilized when evaluating students for general membership.

3. Membership in registered student organizations is restricted to currently enrolled University of Houston students.

4. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 exempts fraternities and sororities from the requirement that membership in their groups be open to all persons regardless of gender. Additionally, performing arts and sports clubs organizations reserves the right to hold auditions and/or tryouts and cut potential members for certain performance-based groups.

2. A copy of the organization's current constitution, or statement of purpose and statement regarding its method of operation, is required during the annual registration process.

3. Rights and Responsibilities of Registered Student Organizations
