** Organizations must be set up on the site prior to their active involvement. This can be accomplished through a registration process (see Organization Registration Process for details) or by manually creating them. **

** Only campus administrators can create organizations using the following instructions. If you are a student looking to create a new organization, please contact your Student Activities Office for information. **
