Clubs and Affinity GRoups

Here's a list of last year's chartered clubs. These clubs may or may not be returning. If you notice that a club from this list has not re-chartered and you're interested in restarting that club, contact the club Admin. We'll connect you with the Advisor of that club!

Don't see a currently chartered student organization you're interested in? Why not start your own? Follow these steps below to get started:

1. Read and review the Clubs & Affinity Group Checklist to familiarize yourself with the timeline and process to charter. 
2. Gather *(4) other students (total of 5 including yourself) with similar goals, interests, or social identity in starting a club or affinity group, and find a minimum of (1) Advisor(s).
3. Fill out the Yearly Consitution and collect all of the Student Officers most current class schedule. You will need these documents to upload when applying to charter.
4. Fill out an Chartering Application through our Clubs & Affinity Groups Database. Wait for an “Approval” email from the Coordinators Team.
5. Complete the Student Officer Training by completing one of two options** below:
   A) Attend a Student Officer Training to learn the policies, regulations, and possibilities of being a club/affinity group. OR
   B) Read the Student Officer Training Presentation, then complete the required Student Organization Quiz with a minimum score of 22.

Once you have completed these steps you'll be a chartered student club/group. For more information, please refer to the 2020-2021 ASEC Clubs & Affinity Groups Handbook or contact a Coordinator.

*If you do not have a total of five (5) students to charter a club/group, please email eduardo.torres@edmonds.edu to inquire about token placements. Token Placements will help you fill in your missing positions with our CSEL staff. They will act as your temporary officer(s) until you can fulfill those empty seats.)

**New, First-time students and the president must complete the training. If you have returning student officers, please let the Coordinators Team know as they are exempt.
