Starting a New Student Organization
Forming a student organization is one of the many exciting ways to create a vibrant ASU.
We’re here to help you can make your organization successful. Before you begin the process of starting a new registered student organization, there are a few things to consider:
- Is the purpose of your proposed organization already being filled by another student organization? If so, please consider joining the existing organization.
- Does the proposed organization have sustainability, i.e., is there potential that the organization can attract new members on a yearly basis so that it can remain viable after the initial members graduate from ASU? If not, you may want to find ways to pursue your interests that do not involve creating a new organization.
- Is the membership willing to actively participate in the ASU student organization community and develop programs and events that foster relationships with the entire ASU campus and surrounding community?
If you really want to start a new organization, and its members make this commitment, then it is time to get started with the registration process!
Registration Process
Please review all steps before completing the application process. All prospective organizations are required to submit an application, constitution, and roster. Please have all the documents needed for the registration form before submitting the request.
- Complete a Student Organization Registration Form with the names of 5 interested students and one faculty/staff advisor.
- Please note these students must be in good standing, which is defined as being in disciplinary good standing and having at least a 2.0 GPA.
- Attach the proposed organization’s roster to the registration form.
- The roster should include an interested student’s full name and CID.
- Attach a proposed constitution to the registration form. View the provided Sample Constitution to ensure your document meets the minimum requirements.
- Please note the SGA committee may request changes to the constitution before the organization is approved.
- Once the Student Life staff has reviewed the application, all documents will be sent to the Student Government Association for review and approval.
- SGA will reach out if any updates are needed to the constitution.
- The proposed RSO will be invited to attend a formal senate meeting and then send a recommendation regarding approval to the Student Life Office.
- Once the RSO has been approved, the Student Life office will reach out to the RSO for the competition of compliance training and paperwork.
