Registered Student Organizations

1. Complete the Intent to Register Form (ITR) and first draft of your constitution. The Intent to Register Form must have the name and signature of FIVE students who are interested in being apart of this organization. As you complete the organization constitution, you must include the following three required clauses: adherence clause, non-exclusionary clause, and the non-profit clause. The constitition template, as well as the Intent to Register form, can both be found on the Student Involvement and Leadership WaveLink page. You must submit the ITR under Forms in WaveLink, and include your draft constitution within that form. 

2. Once these items have been completed, the five students on the ITR will receive a Provisional Status email, which will include instructions to set up a meeting with your designated staff member. With provisional status, a student organization has 30 days to reserve meeting space for interest meetings and post flyers for recruitment purposes only. No events or fundraisers may be held during this time.

Submit Registration

You next steps include:

1. Meet with your designated CAIC representative to revise/edit the constitution to get it to a final draft version. This may take several in-person or e-meetings to get your constitution ready for a Student Organization Committee (SOC) review. Once a final draft is agreed upon, the draft will be reviewed by the SOC for a vote.
2. Take advantage of your provisional status privileges as you await SOC approval. Gather interest, discuss as a group goals and outcomes for your organization, and begin designing some basic materials for publicity.
3. If you are concerned about the status of your SOC review, please reach out to your designated CAIC representative. The SOC may be reviewing several constitutions at any given week during the academic year.

The SOC may vote to:

• Approve your constitution
• Approve the constitution with suggestions for minor revisions
• Revise and resubmit due to major revisions required

The organization will be notified of the decision within three business days following the SOC meeting. The organization will be e-mailed the SOC decision and any suggestions for the final edits of the constitution.

In order to be approved, the constitution must include all of the following verbatim from the CAIC Constitution template:

• Article 4: Adherence
• Article 5: Non-Exclusionary Membership Clause
• Article 12: Nonprofit Clause 

Your constitution has been approved - now what?

Congratulations! The final stage of the registration process is to send back any final edits to your designated CAIC representative, work through your assigned New Student Organization Canvas module, and submit a WaveLink page creation form. 

Note: A new organization has one month to register after being notified of the SOC decision. All constitutions that are not at final draft before the final meeting in Spring, will not be able to go before the SOC until September. Only Registered Student Organizations are able to participate in the Fall Involvement Carnival.
