Student Organization Annual Registration

Student organization presidents must complete the Annual Registration process each year to activate their organization for the current academic school year. If the student organization does not meet the necessary requirements before the deadline set by the Office of Student Engagement, the organization will be placed on a two week probation.

During this two week probationary period, student organizations lose all privileges of registered student organizations, including, but not limited to, space reservations and participation in Homecoming activities.

At the conclusion of the probationary period, student organizations will be considered 'frozen' and may re-register their organization the following fall semester. If the organization does not register for two consecutive years, the organization will be considered inactive and will need to complete the New Organization registration process in order to re-instate their 'registered' status.

Early Re-Registration 

The Early Re-Registration period for 2026-2027 opens April 14th, 2026, see above for information about Fall Registration. We will re-open Early Re-Registration in the SP2027 semester for the following academic year.

Beginning in the Spring 2026 semester (April 14th), Student organizations have the opportunity to complete several important registration steps in advance of the upcoming academic year through early re-registration this simple, streamlined process:
  • Helps maintain consistent communication between the organization and the Office of Student
    Engagement (OSE);
  • Confirms a faculty/staff advisor for the following academic year (a twelve-month term);
  • Allows for OSE staff to collect annual year-end data on the organization; and
  • Provides the student organization with the opportunity to RSVP early for the Student Organization
    Festival during the next Welcome Weekend.
This process is completed by the current student organization president after their new organization's officers are elected for the upcoming academic year. That is, the 'outgoing' President should complete this form, listing the 'incoming' president as the primary contact for the organization in the respective field.
This Early-Re-Registration form is due by May 31th 2026.
If the organization does not submit this form by May 31th the organization is responsible for re-establishing communication with the Office of Student Engagement prior to the Fall 2026 semester..

Attend Student Organization Leadership Development (SOLD) Retreat

DATE TBD, from 9:00am-3:00pm in the Plaster Student Union.

    • The student organization president (or exec board designee, if the President is unavailable) must attend the SOLD Retreat in order to finalize the student organization's registration. During this retreat, the Presidents will be trained on room reservations, BearLink usage, important campus resources, and more.
    • At the SOLD Retreat, every student organization must provide a full roster of current members. If you fail to do so, your organization will not be considered re-registered. Once the roster has been provided to the CCI staff and input into BearLink, the organization will assume 'registered' status, so long as all other requirements are met.
