How come some orgs are included in the directory but don't have info pages?
Back to Index
For an org to have an info page, that org should at least have a write-up, application info, or contact info (tambayan, e-mail address, etc.). If you are a member of an org that has no info page, please help us complete the directory by providing information about your org in our update org info form.

What is the difference between a University-based org and a University-wide org?
Back to Index
On ASwalk.net, there are two types of student orgs according to membership composition: University-based or college-based. This classification follows the definition of the OSA: A University-based org has a majority of its members (50%+1) enrolled in different colleges, while a college-based org has a majority of its members (50%+1) enrolled in only one college.
ASwalk.net also classifies students orgs based on membership qualifications—whether the org can accept students from any college as full members, or whether they restrict membership to students of a particular college or department.
Thus, an org can be college-based but University-wide (e.g., U.P. Computer Society) but a University-based org is, obviously, University-wide too.
Note that while some college-based orgs can accept students from other colleges, they are still classified as college-wide if students from other colleges can't join the org as full members (i.e., Honorary members). An example is UP CURSOR.

What are special orgs?
Back to Index
In the directory, some orgs are marked with an icon indicating them to be special orgs. Special orgs are those that aren't like regular orgs in the sense that membership may be highly restricted, they don't require recognition from the OSA, the org performs specialized functions, or the like.
Special orgs include student councils, student papers, registration committees, college yearbook committees, alliances, political parties, umbrella organizations, and varsity teams.
