Existing Student Organization Re-Registration

Existing student organizations are required to re-register with the Office of Student Activities on an annual basis. This process ensures that all officer and advisor information, organization constitutions, and other important information about the organization is up-to-date. Additionally, registered organizations are recognized by the University and are therefore eligible  for important resources to help ensure their success. Student organization registration takes place on PurplePost. 

Re-Registration for the 2020-2021 academic year IS NOW OPEN

Registration for the 2020-2021 academic year is currently open on PurplePost until May 8, 2020. New this year: only the president of the organization (not general members or advisors) may access the re-registration form. In order to complete the re-registration process, the Faculty/Staff Advisor will be asked to complete an Advisor Agreement.
