UTSCA Administrative Compliance Program
The UTSCA Administrative Compliance Program (ACP) is in place to promote organizational success and longevity for each club. With the measurable goals outlined below, it is our hope that club Authorized Representatives and members receive a well-rounded and engaging experience when they choose to join a Sport Club. (UPDATE EXCEL SHEET ONCE READY)
Last Updated: Will be updated starting in Fall 2024.
Relationship to Annual Allocation - Delete?
Allocated Funding is not distributed through the Administrative Compliance Program.
Relationship to Recreational Sports Sponsorship Status
Clubs are expected to complete all of the Essential categories and at least 2 of the Recommended categories outlined to maintain their status as a Sponsored Student Organization (SSO) under Recreational Sports. Sport Club staff may require clubs to complete specific categories from the recommended list based on prior club performance. Additionally, Sport Club staff may require clubs to demonstrate a higher rate of completion for some categories based on prior club performance. Clubs that fail to complete the required number of categories will have their Recreational Sports sponsorship status reviewed, which may result in the removal of SSO status.
Essential Categories
Authorized Representative Meeting Attendance
At least three times per long term (Fall and Spring), the UTSCA Council and Sport Club staff will host a meeting for Authorized Representatives. Each club is required to send one representative to the meeting. At least 4 meetings must be attended in order to complete the category. The club will receive a disciplinary infraction if a meeting is not attended.
Advisor Meeting
We believe that meeting regularly with your club's advisor is important to your success as an organization. Sport Club staff have developed meeting frequencies for each club based on their level of activity throughout the year. Each Sport Club must meet with their Recreational Sports advisor in accordance with the schedule below unless modified by disciplinary action. It is recommended that at least 2 Authorized Representatives are in attendance at each meeting.
