The co-curricular activities and organizations of students are important to their growth and development. Numerous scholastic, social, professional, service, interest, and religious organizations have been developed in response to expressed interest and to leadership of the student bodies across the College. Officers of all student organizations must have at least a 2.0 grade point average and be enrolled as full-time or part-time students. This applies to all members of student organizations, unless otherwise specified by the organization’s constitution.
