VIEW
In order to be recognized and function on campus, student clubs and organizations must go through the
certification (New Clubs) or re-certification (Established/Returning Clubs) process with the Office of
Campus Life at the beginning of the Fall 1 semester. Clubs submit election notification forms at the end of
the Fall 1 semester or at the start of the Spring 1 semester to the Office of Campus Life to indicate any
changes in leadership and/or any additions to their club rosters.
Clubs & organizations at LaGuardia Community College must be formally chartered by the Student
Government Association (SGA) to be eligible to use Student Activity Fee funds and have club budgets.
Any student interested in starting a new club will need to make an appointment to speak with the Campus Life
Specialist for Clubs & Organizations, Dannery Minaya, by emailing dminaya@lagcc.cuny.edu. After meeting
with the Clubs & Organizations Specialist, complete pages 5-15 of this packet and submit the completed
forms via email to the Campus Life Specialist for Clubs & Organizations or drop off at the Campus Life front
desk in room M-115.

in order to be officially recognized by the Office of Campus Life and be able to effectively operate on campus.
After a completed certification packet for new clubs is submitted to the Office of Campus Life, the proposed
organization’s certification documents are forwarded to the Student Government Association (SGA) to review
