- At least 3 currently enrolled Stetson student members
- A faculty or staff advisor (must be a full-time employee of Stetson University)

- Fill out an Organization Application Form (similar to a profile) on OrgSync.com

- Click on "Browse Organizations"
- Choose "Register New Organization" in the upper right hand corner
- Select "Registered Student Organizations" as the umbrella (a logo with a green icon holding a flag) and submit query
- When filling out the form, please make sure your constitution is attached in the appropriate section.
- Complete three "New Officer Training Packets", which need to be filled out by all 3 officers.
- Once all these steps are completed, e-mail Ana Maia at amaia@stetson.edu.
- FINAL STEP: Attend the New Organization Orientation. Three officers, along with your advisor, are required to attend this helpful, personalized session. AFTER that, you will gain all rights granted to recognized student organizations.
*Some exceptions to this process can be made for honorary associations and organizations designed strictly for graduate students*
Please note that this process may take anywhere from two weeks to several months. Every application is reviewed on an individual basis as Student Development and Campus Vibrancy is dedicated organizational sustainability.
