The registration period helps encourage student leaders to update their organization information, membership rosters, constitution, and officer/advisor information. This also helps our team gather updated important information that we use throughout the year. There is no fee associated with registering a student organization during this period. However after the deadlines listed above, a $50 late fee will be charged to any organization that misses the deadline. If there are any questions on the requirements or steps involved in registration, please contact our Student Organization Support team at sos@utep.edu.

The minimum requirements to register a student organization are:

• A minimum of six active members who are current UTEP students 
• A minimum of three organization officers
  • (President (Mandatory), Treasurer (Mandatory) & Secretary or Vice President)
• At least one faculty or staff advisor 
• Organization constitution that is up to date and compliant with all required guidelines. 
  • A constitution guideline and checklist is available for your reference
    • Download it HERE 
    • If you would like your constitution reviewed prior to submitting your re-registration application, please email it to sos@utep.edu with the subject line "Constitution Review - [RSO Name]."
