Beginning March 3, student leaders will be able to renew their organization's registration for the 2007-08 academic year. Student leaders must renew the registration of their organization each year by completing a registration form. The registration process serves to provide current information to Student Activities and the University population at large. Organizations are encouraged to examine their missions and memberships and to set goals for the academic year.

Student organizations are required to provide a current constitution each year. The copy of the constitution must accompany the signature page at the end of the registration form (a pdf document). Each organization must receive approval from the Office of Student Organizations in order to be considered a Vanderbilt organization and to receive the following services:

Use of the Vanderbilt name to identify institutional affiliation
Use of University meeting rooms and facilities
Opportunity to use office space and equipment in Sarratt Student Center
Use of the Vanderbilt accounting system
Listserves, groupmail, and URL's administered by the University
Free organizational consulting and training by University administrators
participation in the annual Student Organization Fair (see note below)

In addition, student organizations must have officers and advisers. Officers must maintain a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA, and may not be on academic or disciplinary probation. Officers must be full-time registered students as defined by their colleges or schools. Advisers must be faculty or staff who are full-time, permanent employees of the University.

If you have questions about renewing your organization's registration, please call the Office of Student Organizations and Governance at 322-2471.

Note: Student organizations may sign up for the Student Organization Fair on August 31, 2007 from 3-6p in the Student Life Center at https://sitemason.vanderbilt.edu/form/iB7UgE. You must complete the registration process prior to signing up for the fair.
