Student Organizations

At Clark Atlanta University we believe that in order for our students to be successful post-graduation, we must help build the “Whole Student”. We accomplish this by providing students with an educational experience beyond the classroom.

Through a host of clubs, organizations and activities that foster cultural awareness, social responsibility and leadership discovery; we believe that the “whole student” is created.

Furthermore, these involvements help students build life-long relationships with peers outside of their classroom. At Clark Atlanta University, we have an activity for all our students!

Starting a Student Organization 

Starting a campus chartered organization (CCO) can be personally rewarding, and positively contribute to the student experience at CAU. Students who decide to start a CCO, please note that it may require a great deal of time and energy to garner necessary student interest and prepare all pertinent information for the review committee specific to the purpose and needs of the organization. 

The university reserves the right to deny recognition to any student organization if its stated purpose and/or objectives do not align with the educational mission and values of Clark Atlanta University.

CCOs must abide by all university policies and guidelines pertaining to student organizations. By accepting membership or leadership office within CAU student organizations, students agree to comply with all academic policies of the university and recognize that a violation of university policy and/or interference with university functions is grounds for disciplinary action against the organization and/or its members.

Requirements:

• A minimum of ten (10) full-time students with interest in starting a new student organization is required.
• Need two (2) CAU Faculty/Staff Advisors to serve as Primary and Secondary Advisors.

Room Reservations

Student organizations may reserve space on campus for various school related activities by completing the room reservation form. All requests must be submitted to Student Leadership and Engagement in the Bishop Cornelius L. Henderson Student Center, Suite 245 at least 4 weeks before the event.
