New Charter Process

There are seven easy steps to starting an organization and creating a new charter:

  1. Review the new charter guidelines
    Download this PDF and make sure your clubs mission will adhere to all of the state requirements.
  2. Find interested people
    Develop a roster of interested students and include their email aliases and class years.
  3. Find an advisor
    Select a potential faculty/staff advisor for your organization who truly cares about the goals/aims of the group. An advisor may be excused by the SOOC on a case-by-case basis.
  4. Outline a tentative budget
    If your club will need funds, prepare expected weekly, monthly, or semesterly expenditures that will be requested from the SAFC.
  5. Create a proposal
    In 1 - 2 pages include your mission statement, your plan of action, and your leadership structure. Include your roster with this document.
  6. Place a request for a new charter
    After completing the online form here, the SOOC Chair will arrange a meeting with you and the rest of the SOOC regarding your proposal.
