Organization Registration

Are you interested in forming a new organization on campus? That's great! We are excited to hear more about your organization. Re-registering your organization? Awesome! We can't wait for your organization to continue at UK!

 

All student organizations must register each academic year. By completing the registration process, student organizations are able to receive a variety of resources including access to on-campus room reservations, locker storage space, access to copying machines, student government funding, and more.  Organizations registering for the first time are able to do so at any time, whenever you have completed all the requirements. Below is an overview of the registration requirements for all organizations, both new and re-registering.
