Student groups can register online

Wednesday, September 12, 2007

All student organizations on campus are required to re-register online with the Student Involvement and Leadership Center by Sept. 15.

This is the first year that SILC has done the online registration. Before, students had to turn in a form with the signatures of their president, vice president, treasurer and adviser. Now one officer of the group can sign them up online, and then an e-mail is sent to the rest of the officers for their confirmation.

“We wanted to provide a smoother and more accessible way for people, so they don’t have to worry about getting a form, and getting signatures,” said Aaron Quisenberry, associate director of SILC.

Quisenberry said so far 295 groups had registered for the 2007-2008 school year. Though SILC usually has over 500 groups registered, this is about a 30 percent increase from the amount of groups registered at this time last year. After Sept. 15, all groups that haven’t re-registered will be dropped from the SILC database.

“We’ve had a few electronic kinks,” Quisenberry said. “But we’ve received pretty good feedback from the groups.”

Dennis Golden, president of the Phi Alpha Delta Law School chapter, said registering online was easier.

“It was pretty quick, and I didn’t have to do much, so it was probably better,” Golden said.

Students with registered groups can also go online and see the results of the freshmen Summer Interest Survey for their group. This tells them which students are interested in joining.

“We were able to put together a spreadsheet of all the students who were interested and contact them that way,” said Brad Ingber, president of the KU Marketing Club.

Student organizations that still need to re-register can go to www.SILC.ku.edu or call their office at 864-4861.
