About Us

Students are highly encouraged to check out the list of active organizations on the Panther Involvement Network (PIN). The process for starting a new organization differs for the Atlanta and Perimeter campuses.

Steps to register a student organization:

• Do research
  • Search to make sure a similar group doesn’t already exist on PIN
  • If a similar group is found, reach out to that organization to learn more information
• Consider whether this group needs to be a Registered Student Organization
  • For example, if a study group is looking to reserve a study room work with the academic department to get space to study.
• *Recruit at least five (5) Georgia State students that would like to be a part of this organization
• *Recruit a faculty/staff member on the specific campus the organization will be registered on. This member will serve as the on-campus advisor (must be at least part-time)
• Submit the application
  • Students interested in starting a student organization or re-registering an inactive organization should complete the Petition to Charter form.

While we can't find an advisor for you directly, Student Organizations and Student Life staff can offer you recommendations on how to find the right on-campus advisor for your new club. Contact [email protected] for assistance or to set up an appointment for guidance.

Clubs can apply for funding from one of the many campus fee councils. Applications are typically available in late fall and close in January for the upcoming fiscal year. If your club missed the budget request window for the current year, contact [email protected] to learn whether your club is eligible for other resoures.

The Panther Involvement Network (PIN) is the student organization interface for students at Georgia State University. It’s a social site for campus involvement. Students can browse the over 500+ active student organizations at Georgia State, review upcoming events or find information about any organization that may be of interest.
