Student Organizations and Interest Groups

When groups of students wish to have a continuous association, intended to last beyond the term of those immediately involved, it is proper that they be required to qualify for and be recognized by the University. All recognized associations should be accorded the same privileges and bound by the same obligations. University recognition does not mean endorsement of the purposes or activities of any association by the faculty or administration. It means only that the association is accepted as meeting the minimum requirements set for all student associations.

Any student group seeking official registration by the University in order to utilize University facilities must complete and return the following required documents to the Office of Student Life.:

1. Student organization registration request and update form
2. Responsibilities of faculty advisors to student organizations
3. A copy of your group's constitution and by-laws

Using your UTHSC credentials, log-in here to find the forms mentioned above. 

Consult the CenterScope Student Handbook for instructions on how to prepare a constitution or by-laws, or contact the Office of Student Life for assistance. A complete description of the process for the registration of student organizations may be found in the Registration and Conduct of Student Organizations section in the CenterScope Student Handbook.

In addition to the Student Handbook the COM Office of Student Affairs in collaboration with student leaders developed the UTHSC College of Medicine Registered Student Organization Handbook outlining the expectations of student organizations affiliated with the College of Medicine.
