Start a New Student Group

Our mission in managing the creation of new groups is to make sure that we can accommodate the different niches of interest amongst the student body whilst keeping in mind constraints of space, funding, and staffing.

We are limiting the total number of student groups to 450 due to constraints of space, funding, and staffing. As a result, category of proposed student group will be taken into consideration.

All Brown undergrads are eligible to apply to create new student groups. The process is relatively simple and involves filling out an online application followed up by a brief conversation with a Student Activities representative.

All UCS recognized organizations must be open to all Brown students regardless of their race, color, religion, sex, age, national or ethnic origin, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or caste.

Applications are currently paused for the 2026-2027 school year.

All decisions will be sent out 2-3 weeks after the submission deadline.

Follow the steps below and reach out to our Student Activities Committee (ucs_sa@brown.edu) or the Student Activities Chair (inderjot_nijjar@brown.edu) for any questions!

2026-27 Student Activities Representatives

IMPORTANT: Applicants must meet with their Student Activities Representative — they will reach out to you once your application has been submitted. Submitted applications will not be considered if the group does not meet with a Student Activities Rep. Contact the Student Activities chair for non group-type specific questions or if you have not heard from a Rep!
