Student Organizations at Murray State College

Student organizations at Murray State College evolve year to year based on student interests and needs. Some organizations are primarily social, while others are academic, professional, cultural, or service-based. All student organizations must operate under approved constitutions that align with the educational mission and policies of the college.

All funds collected by student organizations must be deposited with and managed through the College Business Office. Organizations must follow accepted fiscal and audit procedures. Failure to adhere to college financial or activity policies may result in probation or suspension of the organization.

Any student organization sponsoring an event (on or off campus) must complete a General Education Activity Registration Form and submit it to the Executive Director of Student Affairs at least five (5) days prior to the event. The form can be accessed at forms.mscok.edu under “Activity Request Form.” The Executive Director and/or the Vice President for Student Affairs may suggest modifications to planned activities or fundraisers as needed.

To propose a new student club or organization, students must complete the New Organization Request Form, available here:
