Student organization basics

Requirements to remain active

Part of leading your organization is knowing the basics to ensure your club stays active and recognized by the university.

Membership requirements

All student organizations must maintain their rosters in True Blue Connects. Membership must include the following:

• Five enrolled NAU students
• Two officers (at least)
  • must be registered for a minimum of 12 credits at NAU (exception provided to graduate students)
  • must have at least a 2.00 cumulative GPA
• Active full-time faculty/staff advisor

Student Organization Annual Re-Registration (SOAR)

All clubs must be recognized by the university and go through an annual re-registration process. SOAR occurs in April of each academic year and must be completed in order to be active for the following academic semesters. Information about SOAR will be shared with presidents, advisors, and coaches each spring semester. For more information about SOAR, please visit our Club Resources page.

Meeting/Event space

Recognized NAU student organizations can request meeting and event space through True Blue Connects.

Keeping connected

Stay connected with all things Student Organizations by following @NAUGetInvolved on Instagram, checking your email, and reaching out when you need support: StudentOrgs@nau.edu / NAUGreeks@nau.edu.

Training

Training is a key component to beginning your journey in leading your organization. Presidents and specific officers complete an annual training at the Summer Summit Training to ensure they are connected with the most important information for club management. The Summit is offered in August of each year. Clubs that start after the August dates should reach out to StudentOrgs@nau.edu for individual training.
