Registering Your Club - 3-Step Process


Club registration for established clubs takes place every Fall, after the start of classes and NO LATER THAN 5 PM, OCTOBER 1. Clubs must register every year so the Clubs Office has current contact information, and the club remains eligible for all privileges. Clubs not registered by the deadline will have their benefits and privileges suspended and will have to be reapproved by the SA or GSA before becoming active again. CLUB SPORTS not registered by the deadline are NOT eligible to receive funding from the Sports Committee.

*NEW CLUBS may register at any time during the school year. If you wish to register a NEW CLUB, read starting a club first.*

To register, the president or main student contact for the club should complete the following steps:

Step 1: Fill out the Registration Form at the BOTTOM of this page (available on the first day of classes). Print a copy of the record for yourself. If you do not have officers per se, simply provide the names and information for the club's main student contacts providing their title in parenthesis, as well as your faculty/staff sponsor information.

Step 2: Fill out and print the University and Student Association Information and Regulations Governing Clubs (President's Form). Read, sign, and return the form to the Clubs Office (MS 526).

Step 3: Fill out and print the Faculty or Staff Sponsor Information and Agreement Form (Sponsor's Form). Give this to your sponsor to sign and return to the Clubs Office (MS 526). Also download the Sponsor Manual to share with your sponsor.

If your club has a bank account through the Clubs Office, please continue; if you do not have a Chase bank account go directly to the registration link below:

  • Have your treasurer attend one of the following MANDATORY Treasurer Training Workshops:
    • Currently there are no treasurer trainings scheduled. Contact Philippa Angelides in the Office of Student Activities to schedule a training.
  • If s/he is unable to attend, s/he must contact the Department Coordinator, Student Activities Office, in the RMC Cloisters (713/348-4097) ASAP. Clubs with bank accounts who do not attend Treasurer Training will have their bank accounts closed.

 Please Note: Your club is not considered registered until ALL above steps have been completed.

If you have any questions on clubs in general, please contact Philippa Angelides, the Department Coordinator of Student Activities at x4097 or pangel@rice.edu.

If you have any questions about the Student Association aspect of clubs and their approval, please contact Chris Warrington, SA Parliamentarian, at chrisw@rice.edu.
