Student Organizations
Students at Ogeechee Technical College are encouraged to become active in career and technical student organizations. Part of each student’s education is the development of social, cultural, and educational talents outside the classroom through participation in a variety of activities offered on campus. Student leadership organizations bring together students interested in specific career and technical fields, providing them with opportunities to meet new people and make new friends in a leadership-building environment, develop professional workplace skills, and learn from various activities, lectures, and events.
The supervision and coordination of student activities and organizations are the responsibility of the Vice President for Student Affairs. Student organizations must be officially recognized by the College. Official recognition requires that the purpose and proposed activities are clearly related to the educational goals and mission of the College.
Procedures for establishing new organizations can be found in the Guidelines for Student Organizations and Activities, available in the Vice President for Student Affairs’ Office and online.
Membership in Organizations
Eligibility for membership or active participation in student organizations is limited to currently enrolled students at Ogeechee Technical College. Eligibility to serve as an officer for an academic year or in an official capacity in a student organization is restricted to full-time, currently enrolled students who are not on academic probation. Any questions concerning eligibility for membership or holding office in a student organization are subject to final determination by the Vice President for Student Affairs or designee.
