Student Organization Handbook

Download the updated Student Organization Handbook

Student Activities works to create a university environment that maximizes community members’ social interaction, metacurricular exploration, and personal and professional development through diverse, enriching opportunities created and sustained by students. Our students model critical citizenship through community awareness, broad thinking, reflective learning, service, and engagement in the Carnegie Mellon community.

This handbook serves as a resource for students trying to start new student organizations and for already-established student organizations. It provides information on student organization recognition and funding, fiscal responsibility, and event planning. Also included are commonly-referred-to policies and commonly-used forms. The Office of Student Activities hopes this handbook will increase your knowledge of the world of student activities and provide for you new ideas on how to make your student organization grow!
