• Not be in their first semester as a freshman.

Renewing a Registration

Every student organization must renew its registration each year to stay active and meet eligibility requirements, noted above. Registrations are valid for two semesters. If more than two semesters have passed since the last registration when a new semester begins, the organization will need to re-register. Outgoing (or continuing) Officers can start this process through the organization's Group Page on LU Hub.

Updating Officers and Advisors

Organizations can manage their officer and advisor roster directly from the Officers section of their Group Page on LU Hub. New officers may be added using the "Add Officers" button. Updating officers through this process does not count as renewing a group's registration and all organizations are still required to submit their annual registration information.

Timeline

Registration for the upcoming semester opens on the same date as academic registration. This registration period remains open through Census Day, which serves as the final deadline. The final day of academic registration is designated as the priority deadline, worth additional points.
