Starting an organization is a three step process.
1. Visit the Student Government “Start a Club” page and follow the recognition process as directed.
2. Please email startagroup@tcnj.edu to inform them of your interest. This email can also provide answers to any questions you may have about the process.
- The Student Government recognition process generally takes between three and six weeks.
- Full approval for a new organization is achieved via a majority vote of the SG General Body.
- Once approved, the Student Government can assist your organization in its functioning and success.
3. Once fully approved by the Student Government, you will receive instructions on attending a New Organization Onboarding training (held once a semester) and advisor meeting with the Office of Student Life. Any questions related to this onboarding can be directed to studentlife@tcnj.edu.
Once you complete this process, you will receive you organization email and bookit access. Your organization will be fully recognized starting the following semester.
NOTE: If you are interested in starting a new fraternity or sorority, please see the Expansion Process to review the process, requirements, and contacts.
