Clubs and Organizations
All students are urged to participate
in student clubs and organizations on any of our three campuses.
It is a great way to spend your time in between clases, have fun, meet new friends, and add skills and experience that will be transferable to your resume.
Please remember that you can join a club any time of the year and it doesn't matter how long you have been a Bucks student.
Do you want to form a club that we don't have? There are few restrictions
involved in forming new student clubs.
There are no limitations to club
size and a new organization may be formed
after obtaining a faculty or staff
advisor, creating a constitution, filling out all paperwork required by the Student Life Office, and gaining apporval by a vote by the Student Government Association. An organization
must be officially recognized by
the Student Government and the
College prior to requesting and
utilizing College facilities for
activity purposes. The College
will establish priority for use of
its facilities.
Further information about
forming clubs/organizations or
participating in activities is
available from the Student Life
Office. Located on the lower level
(Room 12) of the Charles E.
Rollins Center, 215-968-8257.
