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. Students are able to choose from more than 350 student organizations at Vanderbilt. In addition, Student Organizations and Governance provides guidance for student desiring to create new student organizations.

Registration and Renewals

New student organizations need to complete a registration form, which will be approved by the Office of Student Organizations. Existing student organizations are required to re-register annually to maintain their official status.  Registration materials are reviewed and approved by the Office of Student Organizations, provided the organization meets all requirements. Organizations that register after the deadline may not receive the full benefits of registration.

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.

Policies and Guidelines

For policies and guidelines, please see the Student Organization Manual or the Student Handbook. For more information about student organizations, contact the staff at the Office of Student Organizations and Governance.
