I have also included some questions that are commonly asked and their answers.

I am here to assist you in any way that I can, so if you have questions or if there is anything I can do please visit me in the CSUN office, 3rd Floor MSU, call me in the CSUN office at 895-2312, or e-mail me at servicesdirector@yahoo.com. There have been a few changes made to the packet and funding procedures, so please read through the packet completely.

Make sure to stop by the CSUN office or check mailboxes in the beginning of the Spring 2004 semester for the update forms to your recognition packets.

Mandatory Informational Session for Organizations An informational session has been put together to clear up any miss-understandings an organization may have about the recognition process through CSUN Student Government. We ask as part of the recognition process at least one member of the organization attend this meeting and sign in. It will be verified that this person is a member of the organization but it is up to this person to be reliable and relay the information back to the appropriate members of the group. For the Fall 2003 semester the informational sessions will be: Saturday, September 20, 2003 from 12:00pm to 2:00pm in the MSU room 201 another date has been set, if you can not attend the first one: Thursday, October 2, 2003 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm in the Mover Student Union room 201. Please make note that you must attend this meeting as important topics for your organization will be discussed including funding, risk management policies, the Cleary Act, involvement fairs, and much more. Mandatory On-Line Tutorial for Organizations Another addition to the recognition process includes an online tutorial that all organizations must complete before being recognized by CSUN Student Government. It is a tutorial put together by the office for Student Involvement and Activities that helps organizational leaders become aware of policies and procedures that everyone must comply with at the University. The home page offers links to many important details that, with time, can be overlooked by some; there are links to policies, forms, applications, and informational brochures on creating a more effective organization. We ask that members of organizations take this on-line tutorial by logging on to: www.unlv.edu/studentlife/sia/leadership/resources.html Once the tutorial is complete a screen will ask for your name and organization where it will then send an e-mail to the CSUN Services Director verifying that this process has been complete. It is recommended that more than one member of your organization complete this tutorial, but only one member is required to do so for recognition purposes.
