University sponsorship of a student organization or a student organization’s program can only be established by a written agreement between the organization and a University unit. University sponsorship is the determining factor between Sponsored and Voluntary organizations and brings with it benefits, while holding the organization to same level of institutional scrutiny as the unit is held.
A student organization becomes an SSO by turning in a completed Sponsorship Agreement to CCI. An event becomes a sponsored event through the completion of an Event Sponsorship Agreement (ESA) between the student organization and the University unit.
