Student Organizations
Laredo Community College encourages the formation of student organizations. Assistance in the formation of student organizations to meet student needs and interests is available at the Office of Student Life, located at the Kazen Student Center or William N. "Billy" Hall, Jr. Student Center. All student organizations must have a faculty and/or staff advisor (written permission by supervisor required), student officers, and purposes that are in harmony with the institutional goals of the college. The Office of Student Life provides a current listing of student organizations and related information. Please visit www.laredo.edu/cms/organizations.
Student organizations at LCC fall into one of two broad categories. The first type of student organization is the recognized group. These student groups have advisors appointed to them by the campus administration, receive funding from LCC, and can officially represent LCC at various functions and events. This type of recognized group can also use the name of Laredo Community College in the promotion of the student organization. Groups designated as officially recognized must be approved through the Office of the Vice President for Instruction and Student Services. The second broad type of student organization is the registered student organization. Most student organizations fall into this category. Student groups of this type are allowed to organize, are free to select their own faculty/staff advisor (written permission by supervisor required), use campus facilities, and seek assistance from the Office of Student Life for different projects and activities. Registered student organizations at LCC are not permitted to use official LCC logos or the name of Laredo Community College in promotion of the organization.
