Starting a New Registered Student Organization
There are many benefits to being a registered student organization at The University of Texas at Austin. Student organizations can use on-campus facilities, raise funds, host speakers and public performances, as well as distribute literature.
Registered student organizations also have access to Student Activities staff, who can assist with program planning, risk management, officer transitions, fundraising and other issues related to a student organization.
Complete the following steps to become a registered student organization.
Step 1: A group of three or more currently enrolled students is needed to form a registered student organization.
Step 2: Carefully read and complete application materials, available at the Student Organization Center (SOC) located on the fourth floor of the Student Services Building (SSB) or on the web at the link below.
Step 3: Return the completed forms to the SOC.
Step 4: Submit the $10 registration fee when the forms are submitted. Please be prepared to provide exact cash or check written to The University of Texas at Austin.
Step 5: Attend at a New Officer and New Registered Student Organization Orientation Session. You must sign up for a session online.
Step 6: An e-mail will be sent from Student Activities once the registered student organization is approved. This process can take between 2-3 weeks.
