In the beginning of each academic year, all student organizations must complete a Student Organization Registration & Contact form (online form). To be considered registered for the academic year, organizations must submit the following:
- Student Organization Registration & Contact form
- An updated Constitution (if required by the Director of Student Leadership & Activities)
- Attend a financial training for presidents and treasurers
To start a new organization on campus, students must:
- Meet with the Director of Student Leadership & Activities
- Write and submit a constitution
- Submit a petition signed by 50 current SJU undergraduate students.
- The petition shall read, "We, the undersigned, do hereby petition Saint Joseph's University for recognition of (name of proposed organization).
- Schedule and hold a general interest meeting
- Complete the Student Organization Registration & Contact form
- Attend a financial training for presidents and treasurers
A new organization may not be accepted and/or approved by the Office of Student Leadership & Activities because the proposed organization:
- Duplicates the purposes of an existing organization
- Represents a controversial purpose not in line with the mission of a Jesuit, Catholic University
