fields of interest associated with academics, hobbies, and special service to the
community or College. Many Clubs focus on career options, student diversity,
sports, politics, service, recreation and social events.
A list of active Clubs is available from the Office of Student Life and on the City
College Website and on Pipeline. If you can’t find a Club that suits your needs you
can easily start your own!

STARTING A CLUB AT SBCC
The first step in starting a Club is to check with the Office of Student Life and see if a Club exists that
already serves the same or nearly the same need. The Clubs are always looking for new members. If
a similar Club existed before but is no longer active, you’re in luck. All you need to do is reactivate
the Club by obtaining an advisor and at least 15 interested students. Simply fill out a Club Roster
Form and return it to the Office of Student Life.
If you need to start your Club from scratch, just follow these procedures:
1. Obtain a faculty, classified staff or manager to be the Club Advisor. A College Manager is any
person in charge of an entire department (ie. - Director, Coordinator, Office Supervisor).
2. Develop a Club Constitution using the enclosed outline as a guide. You may want to have your
Advisor review it and make recommendations.
3.
Find 15 students who are interested in being Club members.
4. Complete the Club Roster form. Be certain to include all of the following:
a. The signature and extension number of the Club Advisor.
b. Club officers’ name, phone numbers & email. (This may be submitted after your first
meeting.)
c. The names of AT LEAST 15 STUDENTS who have signed up to be Club members.
5. When the Club Roster and Constitution are complete, bring them to the Office of Student Life CC
217 Monday-Friday 8am to 4:30pm.
6. After the Club Roster and Constitution have been reviewed you will be asked to make a
presentation to the Student Senate in order to be officially chartered.
7. After being officially chartered by the Student Senate, contact the Office of Student Life to confirm
a room for Club meeting use.
8. Groups must comply with all College Policies, the Brown Act and provisions in the Education Code
governing Clubs and Campus Organizations.
GOOD LUCK AND IF YOU NEED ANY ASSISTANCE PLEASE GIVE US A CALL

ROLE OF THE SBCC CLUB ADVISOR
Club and Association advisors can be faculty, classified staff or managers who volunteer, out of interest and
dedication, giving their time and talents to the out-of-class program. Students should realize that Advisors are
not assigned, nor are they compensated for their participation. Every effort should be made to arrange
meetings and events so that Advisors can attend without undue hardship. Much of the success enjoyed by the
activity program at S.B.C.C. is directly related to the interest and efforts of advisors. Advisors provide the basic
orientation to and continuity for the club program. In a two-year college where the student body turnover
rate is almost 60% each year, the clubs and associations are highly dependent on the advisor to provide
knowledge, guidance, and direction as the new members try to carry on the activities, traditions, and services
of the group.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE ADVISOR:
1. Advisors are responsible for proper supervision of any meeting and/or activity staged by the group with
which they are working. Experience has shown that the most effective campus groups are those whose
meetings are regularly attended by the advisor. Although the students should be encouraged to provide
their own momentum, they are the first to point out that they need a guiding hand from time to time.
2. Advisors should play an active role in helping the students set up a meaningful program that is consistent
with the purposes of the group and with the aims of higher education.
3. Advisors should encourage the development of initiative, responsibility, and leadership in the student
members. Holding a Club office can be a rewarding experience if students learn to take on responsibility
and learn something about dealing with people.
4. Advisors should supervise financial transactions, the handling of Club funds, and the maintenance of
financial records. The Student Finance Office assists by maintaining all accounts for clubs and organizations.
Expenditures cannot be made without the approval of the advisor and no off- campus accounts are
permitted.
5. The Club Advisor must be present at all events, programs, field trips; conferences etc. (on campus and off
campus) and must properly supervise these events from beginning to end.
a. Additional employees may share supervision on a limited basis.
b. Responsibility for supervision extends from the beginning to the end of each event.
6. Advisors must accompany club members to conferences and be responsible for the student’s supervision.
7. Advance approval from the Office of Student Life must be obtained for any deviation of these rules.
ADVISOR APPROVAL PROCESS:
1. Upon acceptance of the above responsibilities, the Dean of Ed. Programs will review the potential
advisor’s application as represented on the Club Roster and contact the Department Chair to inform
him/her of the advisor’s approval status.
2. Club meeting times and frequency will be taken into consideration.
3. Advisors must be willing to consider this a volunteer position, not eligible for compensation.

used to govern the Club’s meetings. Club constitutions are not required to have By-Laws unless the
constitution does not cover the subjects listed below. By-Laws ordinarily include the following:
SAMPLE PROVISIONS

12. Procedure for amending By-Laws.
WE’RE A CLUB, NOW WHAT?
Once a Club has been formally Chartered or reactivated, and all of their paperwork is on file with the
Office of Student Life, the Club Advisor and President should come to the Office of Student Life and
fill out an Auxiliary Account Card. The Club Advisor, President, Treasurer, and Director of Student
Life must sign this card. These cards are used to verify signatures when money is being used from the
Club Account and are kept on file in the Accounting Office. Once an Auxiliary Account Card is on
file in the Accounting Office, the Club will receive a budget number. This number is used when
making deposit or requests for expenditures.
If there is money in the Club Account, you may use it for making copies of flyers, posters or other
informational handouts. You may also purchase supplies and cover other club related expenses. If
you spend your own money and request reimbursement from the club account you must have receipts
for all purchases.
The Office of Student Life offers many services to S.B.C.C. Clubs, anything you
can imagine to make your Club a success!
Materials for hand made posters and signs are available in the Office of Student Life, CC-217. Be sure
to check with the Student Program Advisor in the office to get the most up to date posting regulations.
Banners may be placed on both East and West Campus. They may be hung on the Earth Biological
Science (EBS) and the Physical Science (PS) buildings on East Campus and the Interdisciplinary Center
(IDC) building on West Campus. Banners may not block a door way and must be hung using string or
plastic ties, NO tape may be used on building railings. Banners not complying with this rule will be
removed. Banners must be removed after event promoted.
 Publicity will make your events shine. Club mailboxes are located in CC-225. Mailboxes are an
excellent way to stay in touch with other Clubs and also where all Official College correspondence
will be delivered. Make sure to check your Club mailbox on a regular basis; communication is key
to every Club’s success.

Use of display SHOWCASE in the Campus Center Cafeteria may be arranged with the Office of
Student Life.

Use of rooms in the Campus Center for CLUB meetings must be arranged with the Office of
Student Life. Please allow at least 3 working days advance notice.

Samples of all Club paperwork (i.e. Distribution of Literature, Bakesales, etc) are in the Club
Manual. PLEASE MAKE COPIES FOR YOUR CLUB USE. REMEMBER TO SCHEDULE YOUR
EVENTS IN ADVANCE WITH THE OFFICE OF STUDENT LIFE. THIS WILL ASSIST IN THE
COORDINATION OF ACTIVITIES ON CAMPUS.

PLEASE NOTE: Drawings or Raffles, for which chances are sold (tickets), are not permitted. The
State of California considers these to be “games of chance”, a form of gambling and considers them
to be illegal.
An orientation on how to use all these services, the role of the Club Advisor, and other important
information about the College will be presented at the Inter Club Council meetings. Generally, there
is a meeting each month. If you need a special orientation or have any questions, please don’t
hesitate to contact the Student Program Advisor for Student Life, 805-730-4062.
FUNDRAISING
The following general rules should be followed in fund-raising campaigns for outside non-profit

THE INTER CLUB COUNCIL
WHAT IS IT?
The I.C.C. was established to provide Clubs and College Staff an opportunity to
communicate information, coordinate activities and provide a very vital linkage
between groups. The Student Senate’s Commissioner of Clubs and Organizations chairs
the I.C.C. One representative from each Club is required to attend each meeting. The
Inter Club Council (I.C.C.) usually meets once a month. If a representative is unable to
attend you should contact The Office of Student Life @ ext. 2262 and leave a note in
the Commissioner’s mailbox. The Club Charter can be put in jeopardy if the Club misses
2 consecutive meetings without notifying the Commissioner. Contact the
Commissioner of Clubs and Organizations if you do not receive a meeting notice in
your mailbox within a month of starting your Club. Communication is the key to an
excellent Club!
The primary function of the Inter Club Council is to aid the Clubs of Santa Barbara City
College in providing quality activities and services that meet the needs of their
membership, the Student Body, and the community of Santa Barbara. The I.C.C.
traditionally accomplishes this by offering funds to needy and exceptional Clubs in the
form of Club Grants, and by fostering healthy competition with the Declaration of the
Outstanding Club Award. Criteria and applications for both honors follow.
CLUB GRANT CRITERIA
Each Semester Clubs have an opportunity to apply for a Club Grant that is supplemented by the
Student Senate. A total of $500 may be requested for any given academic year with a maximum of
$250 per semester. Paperwork and guidelines are on the following pages.
1. The requesting Club must be chartered by the Associated Student Senate, and must meet all criteria
established by the College and the Associated Student Senate.
a. The Club must be active with a Constitution and Club Roster on file for the current Semester.
b. Clubs must be in compliance with all Inter Club Council Policies, including attendance of all
regular meetings.
2. All Clubs are required to submit an Funding Application.
a. The Club must be able to produce proof of the current account balance and fund-raising totals
upon request; this information can be obtained by asking the Office of Student Life.
b. The Club must indicate the goals and purpose of the activity being sponsored and how the
activity will benefit the students of the school and/or the community.
c. All sources of income for activity must be listed.
3. Funds will be provided on a matching basis up to the limit of the Club Grant.
4. The funds allocated to a Club must be used only for the purpose outlined on the application
submitted, and proof of this must be submitted to the Senate.
5. All Clubs must make an oral presentation to the Associated Student Senate. Persons making the
presentation must be able to answer all pertinent questions the Senate may have.
6. Request based Grants will be given in three designated areas. The maximum amount of request
based funding that a Club may receive in one Semester is $250 and $500 in one academic year.
1.) Campus Activities: Club sponsored and organized activities that occur on campus and benefit
the Student Body of S.B.C.C. The maximum Grant in this category is $200.
2.) Educational: A Club Activity for a specific educational purpose, such as attending a conference
or having a speaker visit to address your Club. The maximum Grant in this category is $200.
3.) Community Activities: Club sponsored activity that benefits and involves the community of
Santa Barbara. The maximum Grant in this category is $250.

Please note that the Student Senate reserves the right to provide all, some, or none of the funds
requested based on an objective analysis of the Club’s needs, past activities, completion of criteria,
and the availability of grant funds.
Club Grant Application
To receive funding consideration from the Student Senate, a Club Representative must be at the
scheduled Student Senate meeting in order to present the request to the Senate. Applications must be
legible and complete, including a completed budget and Club funding criteria must be read and met.
Funding for Activities with pre-set days should be submitted at least three weeks prior to the Activity in
order to ensure a timely response. Requests should be handed in to the Commissioner of Clubs and
Organizations. (Please print or type)

Alcohol & Drug Abuse Policy
THE DRUG-FREE SCHOOLS and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 require institutions of higher education
to implement a drug prevention program, which includes the annual dissemination of the following policy on
alcohol and drug use.
Santa Barbara City College is committed to the success of each student and as a college; we realize that
the use of alcohol and drugs can be a major impediment to success.
There are both physical and psychological health risks associated with drug and alcohol use, including
decreased immunity, exhaustion, decreased muscle coordination, depression, confusion and paranoia,
among other conditions. In most cases, anyone who uses drugs and abuses alcohol can expect a decline in
the quality of his/her life.
Through the Health Services and Wellness Program, SBCC offers classes, educational programming,
resources and counseling as well as referrals to community service agency counseling and rehabilitation
programs.
According to the Standards of Student Conduct, possession, use or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol
on college property or during campus-related activities are subject to disciplinary action. This can be up
to, and including, expulsion from SBCC, as well as punishment under California State law, including from
six months to one year in county jail, or up to five years in State prison.
