After an application is received via email, staff will review the application and contact the club with any questions or concerns. From there, all potential clubs will need to be approved via the Clubs committee that includes our staff and student leaders. Once approved, the club will be assigned a Club Advocate who will walk them through a mandatory club orientation to get each club acquainted with being an official GCU club.
If there is a club that has not been renewed for the next academic year, you will need to reach out to the previous club president/advisor to ask about their status. If the previous leadership members are not available, the bare minimum requirements to re-instate a club would be to have an advisor and the necessary amount of leadership members. We request that continuation forms be submitted so that we may update our contact sheets.
