STUDENT ORGANIZATION REGISTRATION
Attention all organizations! You MUST register with The Student Organization Center every year to be recognized as a student organization on campus. The Student Organization Center keeps on file all registrations and constitutions and lets interested students know about your organization. The deadline to register for 2006-2007 is September 29, 2006. All organizations must submit a copy of their constitution to complete the registration process, even if no changes have been made.
OFFICER TRAINING WORKSHOPS
The SOC provides regular training opportunities for organization officers. These monthly seminars cover important topics related to being a leader in your organization. Most workshops are presented twice to allow maximum participation. Come and refresh your leadership skills!
MEMBERS MONTHLY
The SOC wants to make sure that all people involved in our student organizations get the best training possible. New in Fall 2006, Members Monthly provides essential skills needed to be a successful organization member. Want to be seen as a vital part of your organization? Come to Members Monthly. Many of the workshop topics are the same as those for officers, but are geared to members interested in moving up in their organization. Come be a leader for your organization!
HOW TO SPEND SGA FUNDS
The Student Organization Fund Office will be offering a series of workshops in an effort to educate students and organizations regarding expending of their SGA funds as well as workshops outlining travel guidelines. The attendance of student organizations Presidents and Treasurers is mandatory.
NEWS BUREAU RELEASES

To have The Student Organization Center review your constitution, drop it by 109 Mendenhall or e-mail us at studentactivities@ecu.edu
ORGANIZATION MAILBOXES
Each registered student organization is given a mailbox in 109 Mendenhall Student Center. This gives your organization a permanent address even when your officers change. Be sure to check your organization's mailbox regularly for important information. The student organization mailboxes should be used to conduct official organization business.
STUDENT ORGANIZATION INTEREST CARDS
During Summer Orientation new students can complete the Pirate Connection survey which will be forwarded to the organization(s) of their choice. This is a great way for any student to get more information about clubs and organizations.
If you are interested in an organization you read about online, then send us an e-mail, and we will put an interest card in their box for you to let them know you are interested.

STUDENT ORGANIZATION REPORT
Student Organizations are required to submit a semester report to the Student Organization Center during the months of December and April. The purpose of the these reports is to give the SOC a brief look at the organizations activities and help pin-point areas where organizations may need assistance or guidance. These reports may be submitted in-person at the SOC in Mendenhall Student Center or via e-mail to the SOC (will include email address once it has been changed). Organizations failing to submit semester reports for two consecutive semesters will not be recognized by the University for the following year and following that suspension will be required to complete the new organization approval process rather than re-registering.
