This form is an application for recognition, not a recognition in itself.  A committee of representatives from College Council, the Office of Campus Life, the Office of the Vice President for Operations, and Athletics will meet to review your application and any materials provided, and will notify the contact listed below once they have reached a decision. Until approved, the group is not allowed to meet under the College name or receive/use College funding or resources.

Please complete this application and upload any other pertinent information (including constitutions, by-laws, budget proposals, etc.)

Please note that once approved and recognized by the College, all information, except for the membership information, is public and may be reproduced in publications. Registration with and recognition by Williams College should not be considered as endorsement of the purposes or beliefs of the student organization or its members.

Recognition as having “active status” must be renewed every year in order to have access to funds, facilities, and resources provided by the College. Williams College reserves the right to grant, refuse, and/or suspend recognition to any student organization. Failure to adhere to Williams College policies and failure to maintain recognition will result in the loss of recognition and funding for the academic year.

Organizations will be asked to re-register each year in order to confirm their status. The Main Contact you list below will be mailed a form to confirm your status in the spring, early fall, and during Winter Study.

Please Note: In order to maintain “Active Status” recognition by the College, your student group will be required to do the following:
•Attend the annual Student Organization Summit (S.O.S.) in the fall.
•Table at yearly Purple Key Fairs--you may also table in the Paresky Center two times to waive this requirement, should the timing of the group’s recognition as a student organization not permit tabling at the Purple Key Fair.
•Submit all registration forms, keeping all records up-to-date with the Office of Campus Life/Student Activities.

The above information and all policies concerning Williams College student organizations are outlined in the Williams Activities Resource Manual (WARM). For more information please contact the Student Activities Coordinator in the Office of Campus Life.
