community by pursuing your special interests and hobbies through involvement in social and
academic student organizations.
Barry University reserves the right to register groups of Barry students who wish to
create formal organizations. Registration of a student organization by Barry University is an
acknowledgment that the organization has complied with registration procedures and the goals,
objectives and activities are in line with the University mission and the Dominican character of
the University. The University will grant all rights and privileges accorded every registered
organization.
Registration of a student organization implies that the University approves the
organization’s constitution and that the student organization’s purpose coincides with the
philosophy of the University.
Registration does not indicate or imply that the University endorses the individual
views of the organization’s membership or the views expressed at meetings. The individuals
involved are solely responsible for any views held or expressed.
Only student organizations which maintain good standing as officially registered
Barry University student organizations by following all applicable policies and procedures
stated within the Barry University Student Activities Manual, section titled Student
Organization Policies & Procedures, will be authorized to use University facilities or services.
The University reserves the right to review the activities of student organizations
and to monitor compliance with University policies. The right of a student organization,
