Register a new society

Thinking of setting up your own society? Cambridge SU is here to help. Benefits of registering a society with us include access to Freshers' and Refreshers' Fair stalls, finance accounts, and society promotion. 

Is your society university-wide or college-based?

If your society is college-based, then ensure you speak to your JCR/MCR for more details on setting it up. At Cambridge SU, we also recognise college-based societies so, if you have already done this, you can register with us

Is your society a duplicate?

Look through our Find a Society list to make sure that the society or club you want to set up doesn't already exist. Exact duplicate societies will not be approved in the interests of providing clarity to prospective members. 

Do you want to register with the proctors office?

We have a joint re-registration process with the Proctor's Office, which means you can also register with them through our form. Visit the university registered society page, or email the Proctor's Office for more information. 

Ensure you read our Society T&Cs

Have you got at least three committee members and a society constitution? All the requirements for setting up a society are listed in our society T&Cs and is it mandatory for any society leads to read them.
