Students can choose from more than 300 student organizations at Vanderbilt. They range from the Water Polo Club to performance groups. You can browse the list of student organizations by:

In addition, students are encouraged to start new student organizations. The Office of Student Organizations and Governance provides guidance for people wanting to create new student organizations.

Our mission is to provide resources and information to help student organizations develop programs, and to offer leadership development training while supporting activities and programs of Vanderbilt student organizations.


Registration and Renewals

New student organizations need to complete a registration form, which will be approved by the Office of Student Activities. Existing student organizations are required to re-register annually to maintain their official status. The registration period March 3-April 18, 2008 for the 2008-09 academic year, via on-line access. The registration is reviewed and approved by the Office of Student Organizations, provided the organization meets all requirements.

 

Student Organization Fair

Please stay tuned for information about signing up for the Student Organizations. You must complete the registration process prior to signing up for the fair.

Student Organization Mailboxes

There are 100 mailboxes dedicated to student organizations in the Station B post office.  This summer, those mailboxes will be re-locating to different boxes within in the post office.  This change provides a great opportunity for organizations to assess whether they still need their mailboxes and for new organizations to apply for the space.  Thus, organizations will need to apply for mailbox space, both those who currently have a space and those desiring a box.  In order to maintain your box and find out the new location, you will need to apply for the space. Applications are due Friday, April 18 by 5pm.


Student Organization Office Space

The student organization office space allocation process is open to all registered student organizations.  The application is now available and due by Friday, April 18 at 5pm.  All organizations requesting space must do so by this deadline whether you currently have space or not.  You may email Courtney Salters in order to obtain an application.

Technical Services

Student organizations can use listserves and groupmail, as well as website space on Vanderbilt's server. Fill out the Student Organization Tech Request to sign up for these services. See Resources for Student Webmasters for more information about building websites at Vanderbilt.
