Chartered Organizations
The Doctoral Students' Council recognizes over 30 interdisciplinary groups run by graduate students. Chartered Organizations are eligible to receive up to $300 per semester from the DSC.
How to Charter an Organization
If you would like to charter an organization there are three steps:
- Submit an official petition to the Co-Chair for Student Affairs. The petition must include signatures from at least 20 students. Students must represent at least 3 different programs with no more than 10 from the same program. The official petition can be downloaded here.
- Email a one page constitution and a statement of purpose (in DOC, RTF or PDF format) to the Co-Chair for Student Affairs. The constitution should detail your group's mission, proposed events, membership and how co-chairs will be selected/elected. A sample constitution can be found here. The statement of purpose should, in less than 250 words, explain how the proposed chartered organization is not redundant with the mission of the DSC or other currently-chartered groups.
- Once an official petition, statement of purpose, and constitution have been submitted to, and approved by, the Co-Chair for Student Affairs, copies of the constitution and statement of purpose will be distributed and discussed at the DSC plenary and voted on at the following meeting. If the constitution and statement of purpose is approved by at least 2/3 of the members present, your organization will be chartered and can begin claiming up to $300 a semester. Office space is available only after 3 semesters of being active.
For more a detailed description of the chartering process, see Bylaw 2.3.
Maintaining a Chartered Status
All Chartered Organizations will have a status of either active or inactive for any given semester. Active organizations will be responsible for submitting a signature roster and an activities report every semester and a copy of their constitution every year.
The activities report and constitution should be submitted to the Co-Chair for Student Affairs by the end of each semester.
The roster is to be signed and submitted electronically using the DSC's eBallot system (https://eballot3.votenet.com/dsc/). The roster must include the digital signatures of at least twenty (20) members.
