In addition to assisting Registered Student Organizations planning their events and activities, Student Activities and Organizations staff are dedicated to presenting programs and services to benefit all registered organizations. Some of the benefits of being a registered organization include:
Get a clue- Held each semester, this event highlights student organizations and Division of Student Life services. Students can "shop" numerous tables of information and groups in which they can become involved.
o Space Reservations- To learn about reserving space on campus, click here.
o Money- Registered student organizations are able to request money through Student Fees. For undergraduate organizations, money is allocated through the SGA Senate. For Graduate Organizations, money is allocated through the Graduate and Professional Student Senate. For Fine Arts organizations, money is allocated through the Fine Arts Funding Board.

Constitution revision- Does your organization's constitution need a face-lift? Is the information outdated or inaccurate? The Student Organization Center can help you spruce up this document for your organization. Stop by to pick up a sample constitution.
o Pirate Connections- During Summer Orientation new students can complete the Pirate Connection survey which will be forwarded to the organization(s) of their choice. This is a great way for any student to get more information about clubs and organizations.
