Annual Registration
Student Organizations are required to officially register before the start of each academic year (prior to the fall semester). This process is completed in MineTracker and through your organization's page within the system.
An updated constitution for each organization is required to be submitted as part of your registration application each year.
Registration opens: June 15
Re-registration closes: September 15
Student Org Officer Training
Student Organization Officer Training is a mandatory program that takes place at the beginning of each semester. Officer Training is utilized to educate student leaders on the various policies, processes, and best practices that impact all student organizations. This is an important workshop for any/all officers or rising leaders in each organization. Each organization is required to have a minimum of 3 officers or members with leadership roles attend a session at the beginning of the fall semester (early August). Officer Training is optional for the spring semester but highly encouraged for any and all new officers and rising student leaders as a refresher session.
*Spring Officer Training will be required for any organization that did not complete the mandatory attendance for the previous fall semester. In an effort to educate as many students as possible, each student is only able to represent and receive attendance credit for a maximum of two organizations.
