New Organization Orientation Session/Training

Are you interested in registering a new student organization with the SORC? Learn everything you need to know about SORC and university policies and procedures during this presentation. Student orgs that are interested in registering during the October, February, or June New Organization Registration period MUST HAVE TWO representatives attend an orientation to qualify for registration status. You do not need to both be present at the same session, although it is recommended. Your application will not be approved until two officers attend a session. The sessions are being conducted as needed and scheduling is created directly by the students.

To gain access to the registration form that is open October 1-15, 2 of the organization's officers are required to attend an orientation session PRIOR TO October 1. To accommodate students’ varying availability, these orientations will be scheduled in mass sessions during September. With that, the September orientation dates are listed below. Please register in advance so you have access to the Zoom call. Once the meeting takes place, then the students will gain access to the form beginning October 1 to register the new organization.

If you have any issues with entering the zoom meeting, please email rao28@pitt.edu.

If you cannot make any of those sessions due to academic or personal scheduling conflicts, you can book an individual meeting with me to meet the requirement for your organization. If that is needed, please email RAO28@pitt.edu and use the following link to book a time. These individual meetings still need to occur prior to October 1 to be eligible for the fall new org registration period. Book time with ONeill, Rachel Alexandra: New Student Organization Meeting (Orientation Requirement).
