Student Government Association

Student Organization Recognition Process and Paperwork

Currently, Lake Erie College has nearly 30 recognized student organizations.  Each fall semester, established student organizations must complete the renewal process to maintain an active organization status with both Student Government and the Student Life Office. 

Recognized student organizations are awarded the privilege to reserve space for meetings and activities, host on campus fundraisers, a student organization mailbox, and (in most cases) request funds from Student Government. 

As our co-curricular environment continues to grow, students are encouraged to add new organizations through a simple process similar to the annual recognition process. 

Student Organization Recognition Process

Please remember that your group’s recognition depends on the timeliness of completion of the above process. 

If assistance is needed in completing the Recognition Process, please contact Demetria Anderson – Director of Campus Involvement at dbanderson@lec.edu or 440.375.7508.
