REGISTRATION  begins  April 17, 2023 and will end May 1, 2023. For those of you who don't know, Registration is an online application that organizations complete every Spring semester in order to maintain their active status for the following academic year. During this time, clubs have elections to elect their new Executive Board (E-board) and complete all the necessary paperwork to transition seamlessly into the next year. Elections should happen prior to submitting registration but can take place during the month window of Registration. Elections are held to elect members for your club’s/organization’s E-board for the Fall 2023 - Spring 2024 academic year and must take place in accordance to your club's constitution. 

Once your organization complete Elections, you are able to move forward with Registration. The link to the Registration application can be found on your Organization's page and will take the form of a BLUE BUTTON under the club's name and will say "Re-Register this Organization." After clicking on the blue button, you will be transferred to the application which has twelve steps that need to be completed. As we transition to remote working/learning, we have made some changes to the Registration process that we would like you to be aware of. If you have completed Registration before, you will be aware that there are some physical aspects to Registration, specifically, submitting a constitution, SPARC certificates, and Signature Cards that usually require in person contact and we've amended those aspects. Please see below for those changes:

Last year all organizations must upload a digital version of your club’s constitution and if they didn't have a copy they could request a copy in person. However, now we've instilled a reminder that should we return to campus next semester, an updated constitution must be uploaded or the club's portal will be frozen.

This is also applicable to the Signature Cards. Each organization's President and Treasurer are required to complete a Signature card in Central Depository located in 314 Student center. This year, you will complete an acknowledgment that you must complete this should we return to campus next semester or risk your club's portal being frozen.

Remember that you will have to complete SPARC (Sexual & Interpersonal Violence Prevention And Response Course) Training. An Acknowledgment will also be included in Registration. After you submit registration your EMPL ID will be uploaded and you will have to complete the training and submit the certificate via email (a PDF or JPEG version) to StudentAct@brooklyn.cuny.edu.

Please be aware when adding or inviting members to your organization’s roster, remember that the invitation will be sent to the student’s Brooklyn College email unless the student changes their Bulldog Connection profile to their preferred email.

If you have any questions, or are confused by any aspect of Registration, please feel free to email us back, at StudentAct@brooklyn.cuny.edu
