Creating a new student organization is an excellent way to develop leadership skills and provide your fellow Miners with a way to get involved at UTEP! Student Organizations help build community and create learning for students outside of the classroom. New Student Organizations are welcome to register at any point during the school year from June 15 – April 30. There is no fee associated with registering a new student organization. If there are any questions on the requirements or steps involved in starting a new organization, please contact our Student Organization Support team at sos@utep.edu.

Where to start?

1. Find 2 friends (or more) that are all UTEP students interested in the registered student organization (RSO)
2. Have all your members (or at least the 3 officers) complete RSO Orientation
   1. Contact our team at SOS@utep.edu to get registered.
3. Search for an advisor. This can be any faculty or staff member at UTEP. The minimum is one but organizations can have multiple. You will need their support and UTEP e-mail. 
4. Start working on your constitution. Details are below.

The minimum requirements to start a NEW student organization are:

• A minimum of (3) three active members who are current UTEP students 
  • A minimum of three organization officers (President, Treasurer & Secretary or Vice President)
  • These officers can be the same as the three members but you must have all 3 officers
• At least one faculty or staff advisor who is a full-time employee at UTEP 
• Student Organization Constitution that is compliant with all required guidelines. 
  • A constitution guideline and checklist is available to guide you
    • If you would like your constitution reviewed prior to submitting your application, please email it to us at sos@utep.edu with the subject line "Constitution Review - [RSO Name]." 

All new student organizations must attend a New Student Organization Orientation Workshop.

These orientation sessions give inquiring student leaders the tools and information necessary to successfully begin a new student organization at UTEP. Only one representative from each prospective organization is required to attend but we do encourage as many officers as possible to attend this workshop!
