Unrecognized Student Organizations
The Student Organization Handbook and the USF Student Code of Conduct defines a student organization as a group of currently enrolled University of South Florida students who unite to promote a common interest, who are recognized by the university as a registered student organization. Students affiliating with an unregistered student organization, may be held individually responsible for actions stemming from membership in the organization through the USF Student Code of Conduct. Students who join organizations who have no affiliation with the University are more likely to fall victim to academic, judicial, legal, or other problems while involved. Some organizations may portray themselves as registered student organizations.
In the spirit of transparency and accountability, the following student organization(s) are not recognized by the University of South Florida:
- Tampa Bay Students for a Democratic Society is expelled from all USF campuses. Expulsion is the permanent termination of the student organization's status. The organization is permanently restricted from hosting any events or meetings, in-person, virtually, or by any other means, and cannot utilize university space or reserve space. The organization is not allowed to participate in any official University functions, programs, intercollegiate competitions, or other student activities. The organization is not permitted to participate in member recruitment.
