What does this mean for my organization?

  • Student organizations wishing to be recognized by the University will be required to elect which TIER their organization belongs to, and communicate this to the Student Activities Involvement Office. To make an informed choice, you should familiarize yourself with the different tiers and what the benefits are associated with each tier. View the 3 Tier System »
  • You and your organization officers need to be aware of the MANDATORY training sessions that must be attended for the respective TIER in order to obtain benefits. View the Training Requirements »
