Student Organization Registration Process

The first step in registering a student organization is to attend a Registration Session. One of the officers must attend this orientation every year. 24 - 48 hours after attending a Registration Session the officer that signed in for the organization will be able to log in to the online registration system and complete the registration process.

The online registration process usually takes no longer than 15 minutes PROVIDED the officer already has all the necessary information. A registration worksheet is provided at the Registration Session and the officer must have all the information prior to submitting an online registration. Incomplete registrations are not processed by the Student Activities Office.

The online registration process requires the following information:

For ALL 5 Officers:

  • First and last names
  • UW Net ID
  • UW ID Number

  • Full Name
  • Previous Name, if applicable
  • Acronym, if applicable

Constitution:

A copy of the club's constitution may be emailed to, sao@uw.edu if it was not uploaded during the online registration process. Please format the document as .doc, .pdf or .txt. Download a sample constitution for reference.

Registration Approval Process

The officer who attended the Registration Session and submits the online registration will receive an email confirmation stating that the registration has been submitted and received by SAO. This does NOT constitute being registered.

SAO must receive, review and approve the student organization constitution. Additionally, if the student organization is affiliated with a parent or national organization, SAO must receive a copy of their constitution as well in order to complete the registration process.

Once all the registration information is verified, all five officers will be notified via email that the organization is officially registered. A registration certificate will be emailed to all five officers at the point the student organization is registered.

Incomplete Applications

Incomplete registrations are considered "Pending" until the registration process is completed and the student org is fully registered. The officer who submitted the online registration will be contacted via email if the registration is incomplete or requires further action. The officer may be asked to submit, resubmit online or correct any inaccuracies that may be found.
