DMACC Student Handbook: Student Life

Clubs & Organizations

Students are encouraged to participate in student clubs and organizations. The Student Activities Office on each campus has a listing of all clubs available and provides a Campus Club Handbook that contains instructions and information regarding official recognition, funding, membership requirements and college rules and regulations. Students interested in forming a new club may contact the Student Activities Office for guidelines on the process.

Most recognized organizations fall into one of the following classifications:

  1. Preprofessional and departmental clubs are joined by students wishing to pursue interests that contribute to the development of career fields.
  2. Service organizations have as their primary purpose activities that will contribute positively to the College and the community.
  3. Scholastic honorary organizations offer membership on the basis of academic excellence and performance.
  4. Special interest organizations are planned by students who desire to develop or broaden their interest in some particular aspect of their lives.
