Frequently Asked Questions
HOW MANY CLUBS OR ORGANIZATIONS CAN I JOIN?
You may join as many clubs as you wish to join. However, it is recommended that you regulate and evaluate the clubs you will join in order to balance various extracurriculars and academic obligations. Please also keep in mind that some club/organization schedules may clash with one another.
ARE WE REQUIRED TO JOIN CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS?
Yes. Moreover, it is essential to note that all SHS students are automatically part of their strand-based organizations upon enrollment but are free to choose and apply for other clubs and/or organizations.
CAN STUDENTS PROPOSE CLUBS?
Yes, all students have the right to propose clubs. Club proposal will undergo a thorough screening and review from the SHS Organization Accreditation Committee (SHS-OAC).
WHEN WILL CLUB/ ORG MEETINGS TAKE PLACE?
Clubs and organizations hold meetings every Wednesday.
DO ALL CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS REQUIRE INTERVIEWS OR AUDITIONS?
No. Usually, performing organizations, school publications, sports clubs, and other organizations are the clubs/organizations that require interviews and/or auditions. Ultimately, it is dependent on the club/organization.
WILL THERE BE CONSEQUENCES FOR STUDENTS THAT DO NOT ATTEND CLUB/ ORG MEETINGS?
Yes. Students who fail to attend more than half of the club/organization meetings without a proper excuse would be recorded as cutting classes and may receive sanctions as mandated by their club/organization's constitution.
IF I JOIN THE SCOPE STUDENT COMMITTEE, WILL I BE AUTOMATICALLY PART OF THE STUDENT COUNCIL STUDENT COMMITTEE?
No. The SCOPE Student Committee will operate independently and exclusively under the SCOPE Executive Board. Should you wish to become a part of both committees, you may apply for both the SCOPE Student Committee and Student Council Student Committee separately.
FOR CLUB/ORGANIZATION-RELATED QUESTIONS, WHOM DO I CONTACT?
You may reach out through DLSU SCOPE's social media pages, or contact any of the SCOPE Executives through Messenger or Gmail.
WHAT IF THE CLUBS/ ORGS THAT I WANT TO JOIN HAVE CLASHING TIME SLOTS?
Students are not allowed to join clubs or organizations with clashing time slots as this will compromise the systems upheld by the clubs and organizations officers.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIGH COMMITMENT AND LOW COMMITMENT CLUBS/ ORGS?
High-commitment clubs/organizations require rigorous screening and members with adequate skills as required by the organization. Furthermore, they have strict standards that allow the continuous progression of the club/organization. On the other hand, low-commitment requires less time and effort commitment.
