MICA New Student Organization Application

Student Organization Application
Applications for the 2026 Spring Semester Due: February 15th, 2026 at midnight

Application Steps:
1. Check out the current active organizations to make sure the organization or something very similar does not already exist before applying: List of Current Active Clubs & Organizations
2. Review the Student Organization Handbook to learn about the requirements of being a registered student organization.
  - Note: All new student organizations must be active for a semester to apply for funding. (Ex: New orgs in the Fall will not be eligible for a budget until the following Spring semester. New orgs in the Spring will not be eligible for a budget until the following Fall semester.)
    
    We encourage new student orgs to use their first semester to establish officers, members, and create goals for their new organization.
    
    CSE provides a variety of equipment and resources free of charge including fundraising support. Once your organization is active and established you can begin fundraising to compensate for budget holds.
3. Fill out your application!
Upon completion, your application will be reviewed by the Center for Student Engagement within five (5) business days.
- If approved:
  - Officers will be invited to schedule a 20-30 minute meeting with the Student Involvement Specialist to discuss your application, resources available to clubs, and learn more about the formal registration process.
- If denied:
  - Review the comments on the denied application.
    
    Applications are denied if others have already applied and been approved for the same or similar student organization.
    
    The Student Involvement Specialist will then connect both groups of interested students to work together.
Please do not schedule a meeting with CSE to discuss your application before it has been reviewed, CSE will send you an invite after reviewing.
