Student Clubs

Page Content

​​​​​​​​A club is an officially registered student organization at AUB representing specific social and cultural student interests. Clubs are open to all AUB students in good standing without discrimination.\

How to join a club?

A​ny current registered AUB student can join a student organization by registering using the online system through Aubsis and membership fees will be added to the tuition fees. A non-refundable membership fee will be billed directly to the student’s account. A student can be a member of three clubs and two societies only.

How is the cabinet of a club constituted?

The cabinet of a club consists of five members: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Member at Large. A student can be a cabinet member of a maximum of two clubs or two societies or one club and one society. The process of changing clubs' cabinets begins every year in April. The election process follows the procedures of the Roberts Rules Order and is supervised either by the club's adviser or by a representative from the Office of Student Affairs.

A Clubs' Day is organized by student clubs at the beginning of the fall semester to promote their clubs and recruit new members.

How to form a new student organization?

Students have the choice to initiate or reactivate a new club. The steps to be followed for beginning a new club are indicated on the "New Student Organization Registration Form" below. The requirements needed must be submitted before one semester (summer semester doesn't count). The student organization cannot start operating until approval is granted at the beginning of the semester following the submission of the proposal. ​\ \
