Student organizations play a strategic role in molding the intellectual and
civic consciousness of students. They serve as fertile grounds that build
and nurture the character and dynamisms of young people to search for the truth
and contribute to the betterment of society. In effect, student
organizations are the bridges that link the intellectual discourse in the
classroom to the social realities and the demand of a human community for equity
and justice. A student organization is a group of at least 15 students who have common goals and interests, embarking on joint activities in pursuit of these goals, and to meet regularly to form close bonds. There are two (2) of student organizations according to membership: college-based (majority/ 50%+1 of members are enrolled in one college) and university-based (majority/50%+1 of members are enrolled in different colleges). For purposes of supervision, university-based organizations are under the Vice-Chancellor for Student Affairs while college-based organizations are under their respective deans. The Diliman campus has more than 220 officially university-based organizations**. A recognized student organization is one which has been given permission to conduct its activities within the UP premises, to make use of University facilities, to attach UP to their names, and keep a tambayan.
