Create
Your Club
Starting a student group can be rewarding.
The Office of Student Life guides you in building a strong foundation. Recognized groups gain access to campus resources, use of the West Liberty name, and event space, while also following university policies and renewing recognition each Fall.
- Is there another group on campus that exists that meets the interests you are looking for in a student organization?
- Would you be able to recruit a minimum of 5 members for the group?
- Do you have the time to work on all of the requirements and are others helping you?
The staff in the Office of Student Life are available to help answer your questions and provide you with assistance. There are necessary requirements to become a recognized student organization at West Liberty University. They are as follows:
- Complete the Student Organization Registration Form
- Create a constitution (Constitution Bylaws Outline) Student Organization Constitution and Bylaw Form
- Recruit a minimum of 5 members
- Secure a University faculty or staff advisor (Role of the Advisor)
- Complete an Officer Roster Form
- Complete a Membership Roster and upload here : Student Organization Membership Roster Form
- Complete the Social Media Information Form.
- Throughout the academic year, submit Organization Event Form
Student Organizations will be provided a Student Organization Resource Manual which includes required paperwork forms. Once the group returns these materials and a representative has met with the staff of Student Life, they will be reviewed by the office, and the group will be notified within a week of completing the requirements if they have achieved recognition status. Questions can sent to Student Life at studentlife@westliberty.edu or by contacting our Director at (304)336-8580.
