Organization Registration Process for New Groups
The Process of registering a new student
group is simple and involves only a few basic steps. Follow the
steps listed here, using the forms provided and information listed
to establish a new student organization.
- Pick up a student organization registration form
from the Office of Student Activities and Services, or print off
the available pdf version here.
- Determine and define the purpose of your organization.
- Make sure you have at least 5 student members in your group
and you have to have the necessary number of students. (Remember 50% of
your membership must be students to be a university community
group and 80% of your membership must be students to be a student
group.)
- Find a full-time faculty member, staff person,
or administrator to serve as your group's advisor.
- With the members of your group, create your group's
constitution. All registered student groups must have a current
copy of their constitution on file with the Office of Student
Activities and Services.
- Attend one of the organization registration meetings
facilitated by the OSAS office. For a list of upcoming meeting
dates visit here.
- After attending one of the meetings, turn in your
registration form and constitution to the Office of Student Activities
on the ground floor of the Student Union.
- To complete the final registration step for new
groups, it will be necessary for you to meet with a staff member
of the office to complete your registration. Be ready to make
an appointment when both the groups president and advisor are
available.
Re-registration Process for Existing Groups
- A registration form will be mailed out to the president
of each organization in late March. These forms are also available online or in the
OSAS office. If you are simply updating your registration (you have already registered this year) please follow the update link at the top of this page.
- Review your organization's constitution. Constitutions
on file with our office are required to be less than four years
old. If your organization's constitution is out of date, a copy
will be included with the registration form mailed to your president.
If you are notified your constitution is out of date, a current
copy will be required at the time you turn in your registration
form.
- Plan to attend one of the organization registration
meetings facilitated by the OSAS office. Your registration form
(and constitution) will only be accepted at the meeting you choose
to attend. For a list of upcoming meeting dates visit
here.
