Start your own  

By following the right steps, you can easily start your own student organization.

Sign in to the Student Life Community once you have read the background information:

All new student organizations must submit the following information online for their registration materials to be complete:

  1. a roster of five student members with at least two officers
  2. a full-time faculty or staff member willing to be your organization adviser
  3. the organization constitution or governing document

Once your registration application is complete and submitted, ASNAU will vote to approve your organization. Once your registration materials are complete you will be placed on the agenda for the next ASNAU meeting, which takes place each week on Thursday afternoon at 4 p.m. in the Havasupai Room A and B of the University Union.  We will let you know when you should attend the meeting. A member of your organization will need to be in attendance at the Thursday meeting to provide a brief presentation about your group – usually two to three minutes. 

ASNAU will then vote on your organization’s registration, after which your group will be activated within the Student Life Community

This process only takes place the first time a group is established at the university or if the group has been inactive for more than two years. Following this first approval, you will simply need to update your information online each year through the Student Life Community
