Loss & Removal of Club Advisors

During the semester or academic year, a club advisor may need to step down or be removed from their role. Regardless of the case, clubs are required to find a new advisor within 15 business days from the date of departure from the previous advisor.

Clubs in search of a new club advisor may be subject to the following:

• May not be able to host events or activities until a club advisor is found.
• May not be able to make monetary transactions until a club advisor is found.

Clubs that do not fill the club advisor role by the deadline will be subject to the following:

• Club status will be changed from active to inactive, and the club will lose their recognition for the remainder of the semester.
• The club can reapply for recognition and active status during the next open enrollment window, pending an advisor has been identified.

Removal

If club leaders and members want to remove their club advisor, it is the choice and decision of the club. The Office of Student Engagement encourages club leaders to meet with the club advisor to discuss any potential concerns. Miscommunication is often an issue and can easily be resolved before escalating the concern further.

The process of selecting and removing an advisor is required to be outlined in the club constitution. For club constitutions that do not specify this process, a majority vote of all club officers registered with the Office of Student Engagement shall determine the decision. Prior to the removal of any club advisor, this must be communicated to the Office of Student Engagement immediately.
