GSO Recognition & Re-recognition


To have your Graduate Student Organization (GSO) recognized for the first time or to renew your Graduate Student Organizations Recognition (re-charter), the latest information is here.

Below are the Requirements for Recognition with NMSU:

Organizations are required to renew their recognition on yearly basis during September of the current academic year. This will be accomplished by the Organization President completing all of the elements of the recognition process in Crimson Connection, the Organization Advisor completing the Annual Advisor Agreement Form, also found in Crimson Connection, and the Organization President completing the Risk Management Training Quiz.

Three (3) requirements to be a ROS (Recognized Student Organization)

  1. Complete the Registration/Re-Registration process.
  2. Have the Advisor complete the Advisor Agreement Form found in the forms section of Crimson Connection.
  3. Complete the Risk Management Training Quiz found in the forms section of Crimson Connection.

Once the Recognition forms have been completed, the Student Involvement and Leadership Programs (SILP) will verify the documents are in compliance with the Administrative Policies and Procedures of New Mexico State University. The Student Organization will be considered in good standing with SILP once the Recognition Forms submitted in Crimson Connection have been approved by a member of the SILP staff.

Email    silp@nmsu.edu with any questions about this process!

Below are the Requirements for Recognition with GSC:

Once organizations are recognized with NMSU, they can become recognized within the GSC if they meet the following criteria:

  • Be solely comprised of students seeking graduate degrees
  • Attend 2 consecutive GSC meetings before induction
  • Receive approval by a 2/3 vote of the GSC
  • Have their membership be at least 80% graduate students
  • Agree to abide by all GSC and College Council Bylaws and to uphold the standards of conduct set forth by the ASNMSU

Once an organization is recognized by the GSC, they do not need to be rerecognized unless they are expelled by a 2/3 vote due to misconduct or failing to be in good standing. The following are the requirements to be in good standing:

  • Send at least 1 Voting Representative to at least 4 meetings per semester
  • Ensure not to miss sending at least 1 Voting Representative to 2 consecutive meetings
  • Participate in at least one GSC-sponsored event per semester
  • Submit an annual report detailing their activities to the GSC
  • Have their membership be at least 80% graduate students
