Start an Organization

We are so excited you are interested in bringing a new organization to CU Denver! This will be a journey where your leadership and organizational skills are challenged and we are excited to support you along the way. Check out the steps below to get started:

1. Meet with Student Life & Campus Community to understand what it means to be an organization at CU Denver and learn more about the process for registration. During this meeting we will identify which type of organization to operate as. Review the Recognition and Requirements document prior to the meeting. Sign up for a meeting slot here.
2. If your organization is a Department Sponsored Student Organization or Registered Student Organization, find three CU Denver students to be (1) President, (2) Vice President, and (3) Treasurer and a CU Denver faculty or staff member to be your advisor. Next, create a constitution for your organization. See a sample constitution here or on the MyLynx Organization Registration form. Note: all constitutions must have a non-discrimination clause as stated in the sample constitution.
3. If your organization is a Meet Up Group, you'll need a President, faculty or staff advisor, and philosophy statement. The philosophy statement prompt is found in the Organization Registration Form.
4. Complete the Organization Registration Form.
