Getting Started

Before any group can hold events on campus, it must be registered with the Office of Student Activities. Groups must update their Organization Information Form (OIF) as well as attend a Student Activities Orientation Session, which are offered during the summer, fall and spring.

All registered student organizations should follow the steps below in order to successfully hold events on campus:

1. Refer to the Event Checklist Form for helpful planning tips. 
2. Submit the appropriate request form for the event with Student Activities.
