UCBA New Student Organization Application

Starting a New Org

Students wishing to create a new student organization with the University of Cincinnati-Blue Ash College must complete the following procedures before they can begin to receive the privileges and benefits of a recognized student organization. 

The Student Life team is available to assist with any student interested in starting a new student organization.

New Student Organization Steps

  1. Complete the New Student Organization Application, which includes the following information/details:
    • Organization Name and Mission
    • Organization Roster (minimum 10 current students)
    • Identification of Faculty/Staff Advisor
    • Organization Constitution
    • Organization By-laws
  2. Set up a time with a member of the Student Life team to review the application and provide any additional information requested.
  3. New applications will be reviewed the first Tuesday of each month by the Student Life staff.
  4. A representative of Student Life will contact the student who submitted the application and the faculty/staff advisor to inform them of the decision.
    • If yes, the organization will become officially recognized.
    • If no, the organization will need to make the necessary changes to their application and resubmit the application for review.
  5. Once an organization becomes officially recognized, the Officer Acknowledgment and Advisor Agreement forms will be sent out for completion.

Items to note

  • While the organization may meet informally to engage in activities to grow the organization (recruit additional members, generate program/event ideas, etc.) organizations in the approval process will not be allowed to use the University name, host events, or participate in activities reserved for recognized groups.

  • Applications may be submitted on a rolling basis.
