Student Organization Advisors
In order to retain recognition as a student club or organization, each group must have an active advisor.
Selection of an Advisor
- The advisor must be a full-time faculty or staff member of Cuesta College.
- Selection of an advisor is by mutual consent of the organization and the advisor and is subject to the approval of the coordinator/ASCC advisor.
- The advisor and the organization should periodically review the advisor in his or her position and mutually agree to the advisor’s continuance in that position.
Purpose of an Advisor
The advisor of an organization should guide the group in its activities and its relationship to the college. Therefore, the advisor should be knowledgeable of college policies and procedures, including the policies and procedures of the Student Life & Leadership Office, many of which are contained in ASCC Club Handbook. If you don’t have a copy, please contact our office for one. The advisor should also help to develop the leadership potential within the group.
The advisor does not set the policy of the group, but should take an active part in its formulation through interactions with the members of the group. Since members and officers in any organization are ordinarily active only as long as they are students, the advisor can serve as the continuity factor for the group.
