Do you have a hobby, interest or idea that you would like to share with others on campus? Why not start a new club or community?
Each year the Campus Activities & Advocacy Board dedicates thousands of dollars to student clubs and organizations in order to fund events and activities. If you have an idea for a new club, review these steps or contact Student Life at involvement@cptc.edu
Start a Club at CPTC
We make starting a Club at CPTC easy with these six steps!
Level 1 Clubs are required to have a minimum of 3 members.
Level 2 Clubs are required to have a minimum of 5 members.
Clubs advisors are not required for Level 1 Clubs
All Level 2 Clubs must have a club advisor (a current CPTC faculty or staff member). Student Life can help you identify an advisor if you don’t know where to start!
All new clubs are required to complete this online Club Registration Form.
- All Level 2 Clubs need to create By-laws and have them approved by the Campus Activities & Advocacy Board. We have a template to help you get started!
- While all clubs need to adhere to the Clubs & Organizations Handbook, club By-laws are the governing document specific to your organization.
- Bylaws are not required for Level 1 Clubs
All club officers will need to attend a New Officer Orientation.
At least one representative from your club will need to attend a CAAB Business Meeting to complete the sanctioning process. A CAAB representative will reach out to confirm meeting information.
Are you interested in connecting with CPTC students but don't know quite where to start? Student Life will work with you to start a Community - a stepping stone to creating an official student club!
Starting a Community at CPTC is as easy as 1-2-3!
- Identify an interest area or objective
- Complete a Community Registration Form
- Attend a Community Orientation
Student Life staff will work with you to create the physical space and identify an outreach plan to connect with and engage students who have similar interests.
