Every school is different in terms of how they handle student-run clubs.
Some schools make the process of starting a club very simple, while others have layer upon layer of bureaucratic requirements that must be carefully fulfilled. So, one of the first steps to take is to find out what your school requires in order to set up an officially recognized club. Contact the student affairs office at your school and find out what is required. While it is possible to have a club without official recognition, the one thing you can't do without is club members. When you fill out the Club Start Form , ARI will search its database and let you know if there are others at your school or in your area who've expressed interest in a club.
