Dormant Status and Renewal

Organizations that have not registered by the following deadlines are considered dormant

If your organization is going dormant you should

• Complete the Voluntary Student Organization Operations Application on CardinalEngage to let OSE know the status of your organization.
• Schedule a meeting with OSE so we can assist you with the transition of your organization and the storage of your organization’s documents on our CampusGroups online platform.
• If you are a chapter of a national organization, notify them and you should not be participating in programming, decision making, etc. while the org is dormant.
• You no longer need to participate in mandatory trainings.

After three quarters of dormancy, student organizations will become unrecognized and will need to apply as a new organization.

A dormant organization can be defined as temporarily inactive or inoperative if:

• Did not meet the deadline to re-register the Monday of NSO week
• Does not have a minimum of five members, including at least President and Financial Officer. Members must be currently enrolled students in a degree granting program. Students taking an LOA are not considered currently enrolled. Students taking a flex quarter are considered enrolled.
• Not meeting, conducting programming, applying for university funding, etc.
• If you are dormant for more than three quarters, your organization will become unrecognized
  • Space and funding is only available for recognized student organizations
