Re-Register an Existing Student Organization

Every student organization must go through an annual renewal process at the end of the spring semester.

Checklist for Re-Registration

Re-Registration Process

Every student organization must go through an annual renewal process at the end of the spring semester. It is the responsibility of organization leadership to complete this process.

Once the renewal process is complete, the student organization will be listed as “active” until March 31 of the following academic year. Organizations subject to disciplinary sanctions may not participate in the renewal process.

If an organization fails to participate in the renewal process, it will be marked as “inactive” and you will need to formally request reinstatement. If an organization is deemed inactive for two (2) academic years in a row, they will no longer be considered for renewal and may lose historical data as a result.

Before you begin the re-registration process:

Schedule an organization meeting to determine new student leaders, if applicable. Beginning in the 2022-2023 Academic Year, President and Treasurer positions will be required for all student organizations.
Review and update organization bylaws and student roster as needed. Collect contact information for new student leaders.
OUTGOING STUDENT LEADERS: Grant Position status to incoming student leaders and provide training on your organization's use of Engage. See more information here.
INCOMING STUDENT LEADERS: Prepare all updated materials and complete the re-registration process by the deadline (TBD)

Please have the following information prepared before you complete this registration:

Organization name, purpose, and description
Name and email of faculty advisor
Names and emails of the organization's President and Treasurer for the 2022-2023 academic year (these positions are required).
Names and emails of at least four (4) confirmed organization members (can include officers)
Rough outline of programs, meetings, and/or events for the upcoming year
Information on the organization's finances, if applicable
Up-to-date copy of the Organization Bylaws (see Model Bylaws for Student Organizations for a template)

This process usually takes around 15 minutes to complete; any questions you have can be directed to Channing Bunch, Director of SLIDO, at channing.bunch@unmc.edu.
