TRUSU Club Registration

Club Registration

Why Start a Club?

TRUSU Clubs enhance the quality of campus life and contribute positively to the educational experience for students at Thompson Rivers University. Clubs are a great way to get involved, meet, and get to know other students who share a common interest, hobby, culture, religion, or political belief system. Starting a club can also be a great way to build your leadership skills during your university experience.

Before you register a club, check the TRUSU Clubs Directory to see if there is already a club that serves your interests to join. If there is one, connect with them to get involved! We will not register clubs if a similar club already exists. If there are no pre-existing clubs to join, and your idea for the club is unique, then you are ready to apply to register a TRUSU Club!

How do you apply to be a TRUSU Club?

The club year runs from August 1st to July 31st each year. You register a new club at any point between September 15 and April 30, however you are not eligible to access any club services until your clubs has been fully registered which requires completion of the following:
