Student Organizations
Tier 1- Registration with Ohio University
All student organizations are required to register with Ohio University annually.
- For new organizations, registration prompts the creation of a bank account. The Senate Appropriation Commission (SAC) gives each new organization $150 in startup funds (please note, this does not include clubs that were previously active on a campus and still have a bank account from that time).
- If you are forming a new organization, or if the organization was not registered last year, a copy of the organization’s constitution must accompany the registration form. If the organization has a national affiliation, you must also submit a copy of the national constitution or statement of purpose.
- Registration must be completed by the annual deadline, which will be provided at the spring Student Organization Training Meeting.
- The organization will be notified upon approval of the registration. New organizations will be provided with their bank account information over the summer.
