Student Organization Advising

Adviser Requirements

While the Kimmel Student Involvement Center provides general advisement and direction to officially recognized student organizations, each student organization is required to have an adviser in order to be officially recognized by the Student Senate and to maintain registered, active status on campus.

The choice and acceptance of an adviser is a voluntary association that depends primarily upon the group and the adviser.

General Advisement Requirements

• Advisers must be full-time faculty or staff members
• Advisers are primarily selected by the organization; others are assigned as part of their job
• Some student organizations have co-advisers
• In addition to the University-required and qualified advisers, some student organizations have non-University-related advisers assigned to them (i.e. religious organizations, fraternities and sororities, and honor societies)
