Start a New Organization

You've checked the current directory and haven't found what you are looking for. It is easy to start your own club. Here's how:

Step 1: Visit CSLIS and talk with a Campus Life Advisor about your idea for a new student organization

Step 2: Recruit a minimum of 5 members (all must be SSU students). One way to recruit new members and promote your new club is by participating in the Student Organization and Campus Resource Fairs

Step 3: Find a faculty or staff advisor (Advisors may not be auxiliary employees - Sonoma Student Union Corporation, Associated Students, Inc.)

Step 4: Establish officers - a president and a treasurer are required. They must be enrolled in a minimum of 6 units as undergraduate students or 3 units as graduate students and must maintain a cumulative minimum 2.0 GPA. Also, they may not have earned more than 150 units or 125% of required units towards graduation, whichever is higher.

Step 5: The president and treasurer must attend the mandatory charter meeting on Saturday, May 3rd from 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. in the Cooperage.

Step 6: Become familiar with the Requirements for and Responsibilities of Student Organizations

Step 7: Complete all of the requirements, forms and online chartering process and create a constitution for your orgnization by May 16th at 4pm.
