Welcome to the first step in your student organization journey at Cornell! Whether you’re starting a new group or renewing an existing one, it’s essential to understand the different registration processes to ensure your organization is recognized and active on campus.
- New Student Organization Registration: This process is for students looking to start a brand new organization or reactivate a previously inactive group. It involves verifying eligibility, gathering required information, meeting pre-application requirements, and working with Campus Activities for final approval.
- Annual Student Organization Re-registration: Each year, existing student organizations must complete the annual re-registration process to remain active and in good standing. This includes updating officer information, maintaining at least ten active members, and submitting updated materials like your constitution.
Each process has its own timeline, requirements, and key steps. We encourage you to review the full details of the process that applies to your group to ensure you’re set up for success.
The subchapters of Chapter 1 can be found in the menu on the left side of the page and include details about Student Organization Classification, Constitution & Bylaws, Compliance Agreements, Account Agreements, and everything you need to know to help your organization thrive at Cornell.
