A student of the University may participate in any co-curricular activity offered by the University. For the purposes of co-curricular participation, "good standing" is defined below. Individual student organizations (e.g., Student Government Association) or any state, regional or national organization to which a student organization belongs (e.g., a national social fraternity) may impose special eligibility requirements, which would be binding on student participants and/or organizations.
Undergraduates: For officers of social groups and special interest groups, the basic requirement is current enrollment for credit at UMKC and in good academic standing and they cannot be on any academic disciplinary or honor code probation.
For Student Government Association officers and representatives, the requirements are, in addition to the above, that they have accumulated 12 hours of credit at UMKC before filing for office, be currently enrolled for credit at UMKC; and maintain a 2.50 GPA minimum (cumulative) both before filing and during their terms of office.
Graduate and Professional students: For officers of social and special interest groups, the basic requirement is current enrollment for credit at UMKC and good academic standing in their respective schools both before filing for and during their terms of office and that they not be on any academic disciplinary or honor code probation.
For Student Government Association officers and representatives, the requirements are, in addition to the above, that they must have accumulated one full semester's credit (as defined by their respective schools) before filing for office, be currently enrolled for credit at UMKC and in good academic standing in their respective schools both before filing for and during their terms of office.
These requirements must be in accord with equal opportunity guidelines and nondiscriminatory with respect to race, color, creed, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability or Vietnam era veterans' status.
In the interest of our student organizations, the four campuses of the University of Missouri system requires that all recognized student organizations to have an on campus faculty/staff advisor.
Once an advisor is chosen, their name, address and contact number should be turned into the Student Involvement Office with the organization’s officer listing form.
A Student Organization Advisor Guide is available in the Student Involvement Office and is also available online.
