Student Organizations
Laredo College encourages the formation of student organizations. Assistance in the formation of student organizations to meet the student needs and interests is available at the Office of Student Life, located at the Kazen Student Center or William N. 'Billy' Hall, Jr. All student organizations must have a faculty and/or staff advisor, student officers, and purposes that are in harmony with the total program of the college. The Office of Student Life provides a current listing of student organizations and related information, please visit www.laredo.edu/cms/organizations (Student Organizations, http://www.laredo.edu/cms/organizations/).
Student organizations at LC fall into one of two broad categories. The first type of student organization is the Sponsored/Recognized group. These student groups have advisors appointed to them by the campus administration, receive funding from LC, and can officially represent LC at various functions and events. This type of recognized group can also use the name of LC in the promotion of the student organization. Groups designated as officially Sponsored/Recognized must be approved through the Office of the Vice President of Student Success and Enrollment. The second broad type of student organization is the registered student organization. Most student organizations fall into this category. Student groups of this type are allowed to organize, are free to select their own faculty/staff advisor, use campus facilities, and seek assistance from the Office of Student Life for different projects and activities. Registered student organizations at LC are not permitted to use official LC logos or the name of Laredo College in the promotion of the organization.

Students may participate through feedback, suggestions and recommendations made as they relate to student matters to Laredo College administration.

"L" Awards
Laredo College encourages students to participate in various student clubs. To stimulate participation and excellence in club activities, LC awards an activity "L" award to students who do exceptional work and who fulfill the eligibility requirements described previously. A committee composed of club sponsors recommends to the administration those students who are eligible to receive "L" awards. An "L" is awarded to students for work done in one or more organizations but is not identified with any particular activity. A student may receive only one "L" award annually.
