Before considering registering a new organization, please browse through the Hub to see if an organization already exists that serves the same mission as your proposed organization. Using the keyword search may help you identify existing organizations. All "new" student organization requests are processed through the Hub. During the approval process, a member of new student organizations will need to meet with a peer mentor from the Office of Student Activities and attend one of the workshops coordinated by the Office of Student Activities prior to final approval. Once approved, new student organizations will receive recognition from the Associated Student Government and access to university's services.
