Register your Organization
It is in the best interest of every student organization to be officially registered with the UMD Student Activities Office. Being registered allows your organization privileges and benefits not allotted to other student organizations that may be running on campus, such as posting posters and reserving rooms for meetings and events. A registered student organization also adds a “stamp of validity” to your group as being an official student organization in the eyes of the University – which can be extremely beneficial when conducting fundraisers, holding events in the community, and especially, when recruiting new members.
Registration is completed annually, typically during September & October.
How to register a new or returning student organization :
1. Any club, new or returning, requires a minimum of 4 students to register. These 4 students are the officers of the organization (Ex: President, VP, Secretary, Treasurer). If a student club selects not to have formal officer positions, the club must select 4 lead/veteran representatives to conduct their registration. The four students who register are responsible for the conduct of their organization.
