New Student Organization Resources

Here you will find resources which will be helpful to your organization.  

Finding and Joining an Organization

Use our student org portal Involve! Involve can be found on your MySMC portal (my.miyao2009.com) once you login in the top center set of links. Involve allows you to build your profile, browse student groups, see events and meeting times on campus, and even join groups directly from the software. 

How to Start a New Student Organization: 

1. Before registering a new organization, please write your mission statement, constitution, and choose your officers/structure and an advisor if applicable. Please note that you will need to have at least 2 executive members, the President and Treasurer being mandatory roles needed. A faculty or staff advisor is recommended but not required.

2. Once your forms are complete, fill out the registration form which you can find on Involve. The Vice President of Student Organizations will then contact you to inform you of the next steps. 

4. All of the information will be reviewed by the Vice President of Student Organizations, The Student Organization Council and a representative from Student Involvement & Leadership. You may need to make edits after the initial review. 

5. If approved, you will be asked to make a presentation to Associated Students who will then vote for your organization to become an official SMC organization. 

Note: Please keep in mind that approving and processing may take up to a month.
