Sponsored Organizations
Sponsored student organizations are registered student organizations that have a close relationship with a university department. Sponsorship requires support, endorsement, supervision, and the assumption of responsibility for the actions and activities of the sponsored organization. Sponsorship may not be extended to registered student organizations involved in political or religious activities or in projects for private gain. Rules regarding cosponsorship are found in section 13-304 of The University of Texas at Austin Institutional Rules on Student Services and Activities.
Registered student organizations that are interested in becoming sponsored by an academic or administrative unit are welcome to stop by Student Activities to discuss sponsorship with a student organization policy advisor. There are many benefits to becoming a sponsored student organization, including a close relationship with a college or department, use of the university name and trademarks, and the guidance of an registered student organization adviser.
In order to be sponsored by The University of Texas at Austin, an organization must complete the following steps:
- Obtain a Sponsorship Form (pdf), available online or from the SOC.
- Obtain the endorsement of an academic or administrative unit of the university, and approval of the RSO adviser and appropriate chair and dean.
- Submit the Sponsorship Form (pdf) to Student Activities with the appropriate signatures. The form will be reviewed and forwarded to the Vice President of Student Affairs for consideration.
- Renew sponsorship annually at the beginning of the Spring semester by resubmitting Sponsorship Form (pdf) to Student Activities.
- For more information, please see FAQ Document (pdf) about the sponsorship registration process.
