Late Re-recognition Procedures

Despite multiple extensions, several clubs have failed to complete re-recognition on time. For clubs still hoping to finish re-recognition, the below forms will be opened for around two more weeks, closing at 11:59pm on Friday, September 8th. Completion of these forms will incur a $25 late fine to your club. Failure to meet this deadline will result in derecognition and a loss of ASA group privileges. You can check the status of your re-recognition here<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jdXxd0vMEBQuj6t1UQjqJp-8rzw-nDb_/edit#gid=597611441>. As always, don’t hesitate to reach out to asa-groups at mit.edu<mailto:asa-groups at mit.edu> with any questions or concerns.


Groups recognized for the first time this semester, Club Sports, FSILG groups, and Edgerton Groups are not required to complete the re-recognition process. Otherwise, your group will be required to complete re-recognition. Please read through and complete each of the following steps for your group.


Step 1 - Officer Response: The group president, or other officer, fills out the Engage form found here: <https://cglink.me/2cy/s391>. The officer must confirm that the group will not discriminate following MIT’s non-discrimination policy, agree to the MA state anti-hazing laws, confirm and define their group membership, and upload a copy of their constitution to both the form and their club’s page on Engage.


If you are an officer of multiple groups, you will need to complete the form multiple times. Only one response per group is required. If your group does not appear in the dropdown and is required to complete re-recognition, please email <asa-groups at mit.edu<mailto:asa-groups at mit.edu>>.


Step 2 - Member Response: Distribute the following Engage form to your members, and have at least five current MIT student members confirm their membership in your group by completing this form: <https://cglink.me/2cy/s392>. Students that are members of multiple groups will need to complete the form individually for each club.
