Answer: In order for your organization to be recognized, you must fill out an application, submit a constitution and roster, have your advisor complete an advisor form, and attend a mandatory meeting. Religious organizations must schedule an interview and fill out an additional form from the Office of Religious Life. These forms, as well as more information on this process, are available online at www.usc.edu/stuorgs. The requirements are also outlined in Recognition of Student Organizations.
