What is Club Council?

The Coordinating Council of Clubs is an advisory board to the university on matters related to student organizations. The council is composed of undergraduate students who are members of recognized student organizations. The council members are elected by over 270 clubs and organizations. There are representatives from the various categories of clubs (i.e., academic, religious, service, etc.).

The council is responsible for making recommendations on policies and programs for student organizations. It is responsible for reviewing funding requests and for petitions by students interested in forming new student organizations. The council also assists with club development workshops and opportunities to create stronger clubs and organizations on the campus of Appalachian State University.

Statement of Purpose from our Constitution

The purpose of Club Council is to act as a conduit of information regarding policies and regulations affecting organizations between University Recognized Organizations and Appalachian State University by providing a representative voice of all student organization presidents, officers, and members. The Club Council acts as a resource to organizations through assisting in interpreting policy, providing support for organizational programs, and connecting organizations with on-going training provided at Appalachian State University through a variety of mediums.

The Primary Objectives of Club Council are:

  • To make recommendations to the Appalachian State University administration on behalf of recognized student organizations regarding policies and procedures affecting organizations, as well as programs and services assisting organizations.
  • To encourage on-going developmental opportunities for organizations through existing University offices, services, and resources, and to seek new opportunities.
  • To allocate funds to organizations in order to assist with educational, travel and service endeavors.
