Membership

  1. Membership in registered student organizations shall be open to all students at The University of Alabama, without regard to race, religion, sex, disability, national origin, color, age, disability, gender identity or expression, sexual identity, or veteran status, except in cases of designated fraternal organizations exempted by federal law from Title IX regulations concerning discrimination on the basis of sex. NOTE: Religious student groups will not be denied registration solely because they limit membership or leadership positions to students who share the same religious beliefs.
  2. Registered student organizations must inform the University community of organizational membership criteria and selection processes, including membership application deadlines, when requested.
    1. Selection criteria must be relevant to the goals and objectives of the organization. Organizations with selection criteria adversely impacting a particular segment of the University community must eliminate those criteria or demonstrate adequately the relationship between selection criteria and organizational goals and objectives.
    2. The Office of Student Involvement (SI), reserves the right to work with registered student organizations to enhance inclusiveness and to determine alternatives to arbitrary criteria that may limit membership or that encourages irrelevant exclusivity.

Organization Officers

  1. The primary officers of a registered student organization (president, vice-president, secretary/treasurer, or the equivalent) must be currently enrolled students at the University of Alabama.
  2. Officers of student organizations must be in good disciplinary standing with the University of Alabama and must maintain a minimum cumulative 2.00 grade point average for undergraduates and a 3.00 grade point average for graduates to hold office. The responsibility of verifying grade-point averages rests ultimately with the organization and organization adviser(s).
