Advisor Acceptance Agreement

Your Responsibilities

It is a compliment to be asked to serve as an advisor. It is also a significant responsibility because the advisor is acting on behalf of the College in the event of an accident, injury or disciplinary situation. To serve the students well requires time and energy. Advisors must be available on campus to lend assistance and attend functions of the club.

Club advisors are expected to:

1. Be thoroughly familiar with the nature and objectives of the club.

2. Read the Student Organization Handbook and be familiar with the policies and procedures described in this document.

3. Attend the majority of club meetings.

4. Assure sound financial and business practices that comply with state and college policies and procedures regarding expenditures of club funds.

5. Ensure that club officers are maintaining good record keeping of all club events, meetings and plans. Any activity involving the exchange of money is particularly important and must meet college requirements for accountability and state auditing.

6. Sign all paperwork authorizing expenditures. The Office of Student Services will not approve financial forms without the signatures of the club advisor and club student representative.

7. Attend all club trips and major events or make arrangements for staff attendance if you are unable to participate.

8. Be aware of the expectations set forth in the RPCC Student Handbook, especially in regard to Student Code of Conduct. Report any violations as outlined in the Student Handbook immediately.

9. Be a resource person for the club. Serve as a liaison with other campus offices and staff.
