Sport Club Council

The SCC is the governing body of the UWF Sport Club program. The SCC works in partnership with the Competitive Sports staff for the advancement of the Sport Club program. The SCC will act as an advisory committee, advocate for sport clubs and provide a format to exchange information regarding sport club activities. 

• Membership
  • Membership of the SCC is limited to one member per club that is designated at the time the club is established into the Sport Club program. Each member must be in good standing with the University and his/her club. If for some reason, a club’s SCC representative can no longer perform responsibilities related to the SCC, the club must immediately elect a new representative. All members of the Sport Club Council must carry a 2.5 G.P.A. for the length of their term. Finally, all members of the SCC must sign the Sport Club Council Contract.
• Role
  • Attend monthly SCC meetings.
  • Elect the SCC Executive Board.
  • Hear sport club presentation proposals and vote to grant Provisional and Recognized status to new and existing clubs.

Acquiring two absences from any regularly scheduled meeting, a meeting scheduled by the Competitive Sports Office, or by two members of the Board (members must be notified of the meeting at least 48 hours in advance) will result in immediate removal from the council. The club that member belonged to will then be required to elect a new SCC Representative immediately.

The nominee with the highest votes will become the Executive Board Chair. The next three nominees with the highest votes will become the rest of the Executive Board.
