The process of forming a new student organization or reactivating an existing organization is designed to help you build a solid foundation so that your group can succeed and provide valuable experiences for your fellow students.
The formation and recognition process includes several steps. You’ll need to consider the purpose and membership expectations for your organization, recruit members and officers, find a faculty or staff adviser, and write a constitution. These and other details must be documented, and you should familiarize yourself with all requirements before starting the process.
To have your organization recognized for an upcoming semester, you must have completed all requirements by the following deadlines:
- August 30 for the fall semester
- January 30 for the spring semester
- May 1 for the summer semester
Forming a New Organization
When preparing to form your organization, you should consider a few important questions and review the requirements you’ll need to meet.
Reactivating an Existing Organization
If you would like to reactivate an existing organization that has become inactive, you will need to meet several requirements and provide updated documentation to Student Affairs.
