Student Organization Renewals

Renewal Steps for Existing/Registered Organizations

To maintain official recognition and good standing with the university, all student organizations must complete the annual registration process. This process occurs each summer/fall semester. Organizations must complete all steps to be officially recognized by the university for the upcoming academic year.

• 2026-2027 student organization applications will open at varying times, depending on the school's timeframe. This is due to a new system being implemented for student org renewals. We appreciate your patience as we work on the new and improved system.
• Visit the links below to access your school's application or application opening date.

• To avoid delays, please review the student organization manual, guidelines, procedures, and relevant HOOP policies located here, prior to completing the application.
• The application form and an attached electronic copy of the organization’s bylaws (must be in MS WORD format, and follow the Sample Bylaws Template) will be sent to the Student Affairs Office of your school. 
• Applications will be accepted until November 1^st of each year. Any application submitted after November 1^st, or any application received that is incomplete after November 1^st, will be denied processing or renewal for that academic year.
• All registered student organizations at UTHealth Houston must renew their registration status prior to the beginning of the fall semester in order to remain active. To apply visit your school's link below. Student organizations that do not submit a renewal application in the fall of each year will forfeit registered status at the university.
