Understanding Student Organization Status

Student Organization statuses are based on the amount of time an organization has been continuously registered with the SOURCE, and the completed registration requirements. Below is a listing of student organization statuses:

• Pending: organizations that are in the process of completing registration requirements for a given year. All organizations will be listed as pending prior to the annual October 15 deadline as registration requirements are being completed.
• Active - New/Re-established: organizations that have been registered for less than two (2) continuous years with the SOURCE; all registration requirements completed by the annual October 15 deadline.
• Active - Established: organizations that have been registered for at least two (2) continuous years with the SOURCE; at least 15 members of the organization; all registration requirements completed by the annual October 15 deadline.
• Inactive: organizations that have not completed all registration requirements by the annual October 15 deadline. This may include organizations who no longer exist as groups on campus.
• Unregistered: organizations that choose to be listed in the Student Organization Directory online, but that do not complete registration requirements and so do not receive any benefits or resources from the SOURCE.
