If you are interested in starting a club it is a simple
process. First you need to find nine other interested
students, a faculty/staff advisor and fill out the
DSC
Request for Registered Student Organization Status Form.
Please turn in the completed form to the Student
Activities Office in the Pope Student Center room 107.
All clubs must have an
updated roster and
constitution on file. The new
organization will then meet with the Student Activities
Council during their monthly meeting to be approved and
receive RSO status. Please view the
Registered Student
Organization manual for more
information on student organizations.
The Student Activities Council consists of the Vice
President for Enrollment and Student Services (Chair),
Vice President of Academic Affairs, Fiscal Affairs
Representative, Director of Student Activities,
Assistant Director of Student Activities, Director of
Campus Recreation, Chair of Fine Arts & Lecture
Committee, Two Faculty Members (appointed by Committee
on Committees), and Presidents’ Council Members. The
Presidents’ Council consists of the Presidents from all
Registered Student Organizations and two
Members-At-Large. Members-at-large
can be any student from the Dalton State College student
body.
The Pope Student Center is open Monday through Friday
from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. However, if a club would
like to use the Pope Student Center after hours or for
an event the Student Center must be reserved. The Pope
Student Center including the Eddie Miller Room are
reserved electronically through the Student Activities
website.
Registered Student Organizations and campus departments
are allowed to advertise and post on campus. However,
everything must receive prior approval by the Student
Activities Office. Once the flyer is approved, an
employee of Student Activities will post the flyer on
designated boards around campus. Registered Student
Organizations can request signs to be made for their meetings.
Requests should be made at least one week in advance.
Off-campus solicitation can ONLY be posted on the
Community Board in the Student Center. Please view the
Posting Policy for further
information.
At the end of the academic year, Registered Student
Organizations may request funds for the next academic
year from Student Activities by completing the
Budget
Request Form. Requests are then
reviewed by the Student Activities Council. Student
Organizations are also strongly encouraged to do
fundraising throughout the year. However, all
fundraising must receive prior approval by the Director
of Student Activities and the Vice President of Fiscal
Affairs. Fundraising Request Forms can be found
here.
Campus Departments can submit
Divisional Proposals
throughout the year to the Office of
Student Activities. The proposals will be viewed and
voted on at the next scheduled Student Activities
Council meeting.
Students who are traveling for a Dalton State College
event must complete and sign the
Student Trip Registration Form/ Liability Waiver and
Alcohol Policy prior to traveling. In
addition, a Dalton State College vehicle
may be requested for travel. However, only faculty,
staff, and student employees are allowed to drive state
vehicles. Students who have signed up to attend events
must attend. In the event that they are unable to
attend, he/she will be solely responsible for the
