Starting a New Student Organization 

If you are interested in forming a new organization, a registration form is online, under student group registration login, which can be found to the right. The criteria for starting a new organization includes the following:

• The organization must fill a need for students not currently being met by an existing organization on campus.

• A Constitution and Bylaws consistent with University policies must be formally submitted. Here is a sample constitution and bylaws (Adobe Acrobat).

• An Online registration application must be completed with the group officers and advisor's university id number at the following link  https://www.uc.edu/sald/OrgListing.aspx .  In addition, new student organizations must also submit a constitution and bylaw as well as a membership roster.
  

• Must have at least ten (10) current University students as members

• Must have a University advisor who is a member of the University faculty, staff, or administration

• Once the online information is completed and submitted, the Student Activities Board will review the organization for approval.
