Having a club close can be difficult, but we are here to help. Clubs can close voluntarily or based on a requirement to close from the Clubs Oversight Commission or the CUSA Students’ Tribunal.

 

Step 1: Inform all membership of the decertification/closure.

Step 2: Contact CUSA that your club is planning to close. 

  • Provide the Student Groups Administrator with a list of all membership-fee paying members. If your club does not have paid memberships, please send along an updated membership list.

Step 3: Review your club’s constitution. 

  • Student Groups typically have “dissolution clauses” in their constitution. 

Step 4: Identify where the funds and assets will be sent. 

  • Assets should be sold or turn them over to the Student Groups Administrator
  • Funds: Pay any outstanding debts to CUSA, Carleton University, contracted companies, or contracted individuals 
  • Funds: Reimburse members and executives who purchased club materials with personal funds and have not been reimbursed. These individuals will need to have a receipt of their purchase. 

Step 5: Fill out a Bank Letter Request Form to close your bank account. 

  • A meeting will take place between the Student Groups Administrator, the Scotiabank representative, and club singing authorities
  • Club Funds belonging to CUSA will be returned to CUSA, additional funds will be delegated based on Clubs’ decision
