Student Organizations

Student Organizations are an integral part of student life at USG! Students are encouraged to form and participate in recognized student clubs and organizations as a way to increase students and faculty interaction and to enrich the overall collegial experience.

While student groups may gather and convene informally at any time, we encourage students to apply to have their groups approved as official and recognized organizations by The Student Services Office at USG. The registration process offers organizations a number of benefits, such as ability to reserve class rooms free of charge and the opportunity to apply for funding through the Office of Student Services. Registration also establishes a means for on-going communication between student organizations and USG Administration, which can provide support, stability and guidance when needed.

How do I join or establish a new student organization?

Students interested in joining or establishing an organization should review the current Student Organization Directory, which lists all currently registered USG Student Organizations and contact information for each, or download a copy of the USG Student Organization Handbook, which gives step-by-step instructions for forming a new group or club.

For more information about USG student organizations please contact Mary Resop at (301) 738-6023 or at mresop@umd.edu.
