Membership and Benefits
Regular membership to the CSU Alumni Association (CSUAA) is open to those students who received a diploma from either Baptist College or Charleston Southern University. People who did not graduate are considered “friends” of the University and are entitled to an honorary Association membership, but only after being approved by the CSUAA Alumni Board.
CSUAA Constitution and Bylaws
The Charleston Southern University Alumni Association was established in 1982, is governed by two important documents – a Constitution and By-laws. Any amendments to the Constitution must be voted on and approved by the alumni membership at large, and then must be approved by CSU’s Senior Officers, including the President of the University. Any changes to the By-laws, however, must be approved by a majority vote of the 13-member CSUAA Alumni Board.
Transcripts and Diplomas
The Registrars Office maintains all student academic records and can assist you in getting an official CSU copy of your transcripts to complete a graduate school application, to send to a potential employer, or for your personal records.
Nominations and Awards
The CSUAA Alumni Board created six awards that recognize outstanding alumni and their achievements. Nominations for these awards are accepted throughout the year from several sources including; alumni, the CSU Board of Trustees, administrators, faculty, staff, and friends of the university. Each year the Nominations and Awards Committee handles the selection for the awards. Each winner is notified by a member of the committee, and awards are presented at either Homecoming Weekend or Alumni Weekend in the spring.
