Before creating a new student organization on campus, please check the Organization Directory to confirm there isn’t one like what you’re proposing. If there isn’t, follow these steps to get started:
- Get the right people together. You’ll need at least 5 students and 1 advisor.
- Draft some governing documents. These can be a constitution, bylaws, or both.
- If your group will be affiliated with a national organization, check to see if that organization has pre-made documents for you to use.
- If not, we can provide an example to help you create new governing documents.
- When your governing documents are ready, complete these three online forms:
- Origination Form
- Registration Form
- As of Spring 2023, this step can be completed using Trojan Engage (engage.ualr.edu) or the “Registration Form” above. Click here for step by step instructions on how to use the platform. For questions, please contact the SEC.
- Non-Discrimination Agreement
- Finally, have your advisor sign an Advisor Agreement and turn it in to the Student Experience Center in DSC 216.
- Check in with the SEC (studentexperience@ualr.edu) once you have completed each step.
