Student Organizations
Student organizations are an exciting opportunity for students to engage with the community, pursue passions and interests, and gain leadership skills that will serve them throughout their lives. Student organizations are exactly that: they are coordinated and led by students, and students fulfill the organizations' missions.
Student Organization Registration
In order to operate formally as a Franklin student organization, student groups must first register with the Office of Student Life. This simple process ensures staff have contact information for student organization officers and advisors and that the mission of the organization is in line with Franklin policies.
Student organizations must register each year in order to operate formally. Although new student organizations may be created at any time, returning student organizations must complete the registration process by the start of the third week of the fall semester. Student organizations may begin operating on a provisional basis before registering, provided that they adhere to Franklin and Office of Student Life policies. After the third week of the fall semester, previously scheduled room reservations and program dates will be released.
Once student organizations are registered, they may do a lot of things including operating formally as a Franklin student group, requesting recognition and funding from the Student Government Association, coordinating public events, holding meetings and elections, and maintaining a presence on the Franklin app and master calendar.
