Student Clubs and Organizations
Moravian University offers a variety of clubs and opportunities to foster student engagement on campus. United Student Government (USG) hosts a Club Fair at the beginning of each semester where students can sign up to join more than 60 clubs and organizations. More information is available at www.moravian.edu/clubs.
Recognition and Operations
Students bring a variety of interests and develop new interests as members of the campus community. Full-time students can join clubs and organizations to promote their common interests or create a new one.
USG recognized clubs and organizations are expected to embrace the values and mission of Moravian University while following the expectations set forth by the United Student Government.
Affiliation of a club or organization with an off-campus organization will not qualify or disqualify the group from USG recognition.
Clubs and organizations are expected to have at least one advisor who is a full-time faculty or staff member, generally of their own choosing.
Individuals without formal Moravian affiliation seeking to serve as secondary, off-campus advisors to clubs or organizations are required to work with the Office of Student Engagement. Service in such capacity is a privilege which shall be reevaluated annually or, should there be any circumstances of potential concern or conflict, at the most appropriate time.
Recognized student organizations, including those affiliated with an off-campus organization, shall abide by all applicable federal, state, and local nondiscrimination laws in the establishment and administration of their membership policies and shall function in accordance with University policies, including, but not limited to, those pertaining to off-campus trips, event registration, and budget management. Recognition of student organizations by the University will be granted and maintained so long as the organization complies with University policies, regulations, and procedures concerning qualification. Approval of student organizations by United Student Government is recommended by the University.
Financial Management for Student Organizations
Recognized clubs and organizations should maintain an on-campus account with the University's Business Office. Off-campus financial accounts are not permitted. Once approved to be a recognized club or organization, the United Student Government will work with the Business Office to have an on-campus financial account created and shared with members of the club or organization.
Accounts are managed through the University's Business Office and allow clubs and organizations to deposit and withdraw funds for their activities. Clubs and organizations should refer to USG's financial document on USG's website. Fraternities and sororities under the Office of Greek Life should refer to the Financial Management for Greek Life section of the Student Handbook.
