With over 450 options, UCR has a vibrant community of student organizations, but we always encourage students to start their own groups and share their passions with other like-minded people.

Student Life has created an entire support network to make starting and running a student organization as fun and hassle-free as possible. Our dedicated staff will walk you through the registration process, fill out forms with you and even help with event planning and fundraising. Workshops and organization retreats are just some of the ways Student Life will be with you every step of the way as you plan and grow your student organization!

If you don't know where to begin, we have a handy tool called the Involvement Calculator, where you can select categories of clubs and you'll receive an automated response with tips for how to start getting involved in those types of organizations!
