authorized signers
Officers and members acting in executive positions in Registered Campus Organization(s) are responsible for the activities of their organization(s). Authorized signers are defined as members or officers who sign on behalf of the Registered Campus Organization and agree to be jointly or individually liable for all debts and obligations to the University incurred by their organization. Individual members or officers of campus organizations that are designated as Authorized Signers read and sign the Financial Responsibility policy and agree to comply.
What is the difference between being an officer and an authorized signer?
Every student organization is allowed up to four authorized signers. Authorized signers are the individuals that the Student Life & Leadership Office (Formerly the Office of the Dean of Students) recognizes as both financially responsible and liable for the actions of their organization. These four individuals have the ability to make facility reservations with Student Center & Event Services, the Bren Events Center, and the ARC. Only currently enrolled UCI students can be authorized signers for an organization, not alumni, off-campus advisors, faculty or staff.
An organization member does not have to be an officer to be an authorized signer. However, at least two of the four signers must be executive officers of the organization (i.e., President/Chair, Vice President/Co-Chair). Contact the Student Life & Leadership Office with any questions or for more information.
What if I need to be added as an authorized signer for my organization?
Only the executive authorized signers of an organization can add or remove other authorized signers. If you are not one of the Executive Authorized Signers of your group, you should contact one of them to go through the process of adding you as a signer to your organization.
What if I am an executive and want to add or remove an authorized signer for my organization?
