Organization Registration & Formation

Student Organization Registration and New Organization Recognition

Student organizations at Rutgers University-Camden provide students with an opportunity to explore interests, sharpen skills, and create their identity while enhancing the academic mission of the University. Organizational involvement allows students to develop those skills that will prepare them for their career and civic responsibilities beyond the University. For an organization to be fully operational at Rutgers University, they must be registered with the Office of Student Involvement and considered a recognized student organization. All recognized organizations must complete the online registration process on an annual basis in order to retain the privileges associated with recognition. Learn more about the benefits of recognition.

Re-Registering Your Student Organization

All Student Organizations registered with the Office of Student Involvement are required to re-register for the upcoming academic year to be considered active and receive the benefits listed above.

Please keep in mind when you complete this process that you should submit the officers that will be serving next year–not your current board.

Re-registration timeline

Re-registration opens on March 1 and closes May 1 every year.  Organizations who were active during the previous academic year but do not complete the re-registration process will be considered inactive by the Office of Student Involvement.

Re-registration is completed through Engage and should be submitted by the incoming president of your organization.  For help with re-registration, please contact the Office of Student Involvement Program Coordinator.

If your organization is currently inactive and wishes to be recognized again, please contact the Office of Student Involvement Program Coordinator.
