DEFINITION AND ADMINISTRATION OF AN INACTIVE STUDENT CHAPTER

When the membership and/or activity levels of a Student Chapter are considered by the Student Professional Development Committee to have reached an undesirable level, the Student Chapter's Charter may be de-activated and the Student Chapter placed in an inactive status by action of the Board of Directors. Such action of the Board will be based on the recommendation of the Student Professional Development Committee.

Failure to submit an Annual Report; failure to maintain a satisfactory level of student chapter activities; failure to maintain a satisfactory number of Student Members; and student chapter activities not in keeping with the honor and dignity of the Society and the engineering profession shall be considered as reasons for recommending de-activation of a Student Chapter. Qualifications to operate an FES Student Chapter are set forth in FES Administrative Policy (AP No. 13A).

FES shall notify NSPE when the Society places an NSPE affiliated Student Chapter in an inactive status.

When a Student Chapter is in an inactive status it shall not be eligible to receive financial allotments or financial support from the Society.

For an inactive Student Chapter to return to an active status it must submit a completed FES Student Chapter Application Form and receive the approval of the Society's Board of Directors. FES Student Membership Application Forms for all student members must accompany the submittal of the Student Chapter Application Form. Resubmittal of previously approved Constitution and Bylaws is not required.
