An organization is approved as they are submitted and as the Council Chair gets the time to do so. Please realize this person is a student, so he or she may have other obligations. You will be sent an email upon approval.
You can go to the Student Association Business Office (SUB 428) and ask - thats your best bet.
You contact the Council Chair; that position is most meant to help organizations get started. You can contact the person through email on the contact page.
The simplest way is to check the club list and if you can see your charter there, then it was approved of already.
In addition, if you were logged in with your own account when submitting the charter, you shall receive an email when it is approved of.
For as far as "Active" in the Student Association is concearned, all you need to do is keep attending the Council meetings, and you will be informed of everything you have to do there.
To become more involved, then try for a seat on one of the committees and/or Student Association Productions, again through Council (or through the Senate). The only other way is an election to become a senator or even an Executive Board member.
With each account on the site, there is an email address attached. Whoever was logged in when you submitted the charter shall receive an email to notify them of it once it is approved of.
Currently, you need to ask someone to do it for you, once your event has been approved of. I cannot since I don't have access to that information and am not in often enough to be helping people with this sort of thing.
The reason for this is that there is no guarantee that an event posted will be SA Approved of when you do post it - and we can't have events that are not approved of being added to the calendar.
Work is proceeding on making an event form for others to fill out and it to be approved of at a later date, however.
When I was a student at New Paltz, the college served as a vangaurd in the struggle for liberation and academic freedom.
. . . . . . . . . Of course.
Go to the my account page, click on the edit tab, and scroll down and you'll see a Block Configuration box, in that will be the checkbox you're looking for.
You can find them under the Forms menu on this site as a pdf file. You can print them up from there (either with typing in them, or do it by hand). Otherwise you can go to the Student Association Business Office (SUB 428) and get them from across the hall.
An entertainment contract is generally used for getting someone to come on campus and perform something (like say a magician).
Every semester there are elections held for the open seats on the Senate. In order to run in the elections, the first person to talk to would be the Vice President of Academic Affairs and Governance - if they are not managing the elections that semester, then they will find out who is first.
Either way, no matter who it is, there are some pretty specific guidlines as to how the elections need to happen. Currently, they are listed in Article XIV of the bylaws as well as Article XII of the Constitution and Article X of the Constitution. I suspect the rules that will exist, at least until there is a rewrite of the Constitution, would still be located in these places.
I also know that there was discussion of the political parties last semester, so I am cautious about stating the rules here since they are likely to change soon.
SUB 100 for the Spring 2010 semester.
Sorry, just fixed the adviser page so it will let you see the next page to allow them all the be listed. I apologize about that.
It was also decided by the former Council Chair to not have the adviser on the charter forms since it takes an extra step for organizations to do, and he was consistently receiving questions about it - I haven't yet asked the current Council Chair if she would like to add the advisers on the charters again. So right now you're just letting people know this person advises an organization, not connecting that person to yours in any way though.
Whoever submitted the charter will have permission to modify it at a later time, so ask that person to add you on the charter.
The forms themselves are generally not online (with the exception of those that have a blue background - ie the charter form). When you see them, you are looking at a PDF of the form. You can save it, and fill it out whenever you wish afterwords.
There is one bus to and from the poughkeepsie train station and the one through town.
Train station one can be found on that site, and the one in town is available on his site, and goes on a half hour circuit.
The account numbers differentiate organizations from each other within the Student Association financial system. Every organization has an account number once all set up.
If neither of the below methods work, you can always ask in SUB 428.
There are two options for finding your account number. The first and more traditional way is to go to the Student Association Business Office (SUB 428) and look on the sheet next to the mail boxes (either inside or outside the door). On that same listing is the account numbers of every organization.
The other way - if you were recognized in the preceding Spring as an organization is to look at the current budget and find your line - there is an account number listed there as well.
