Student Organizations Registered at UTMB
There are over 50 student organizations at UTMB. Most are professional and discipline specific. Others are cultural, religious and social. Student Organizations each year participate in and organize hundreds of projects for the campus and the Galveston community. In the course of planning and implementing organizational activities, students need information on the use of University facilities, budgeting, outside vendors and planning strategies. The Office of Student Life is the resource for students and student organizations. It can provide valuable information and save lots of time and energy for busy students.
The Handbook for Registered Student Organizations is a publication no student organization at UTMB should be without (Adobe .PDF format). To view it, click on the link (some hard copies also available).
Student Organizations must re-register every year in order to be considered a registered student organization in good standing. The registration form is available in PDF format by clicking on the highlighted link.
