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
