Clubs

What are Clubs?

Clubs are student-led groups that aim to build community, contribute to student life, and enrich the Northwest University student body by facilitating opportunities for students. NU has a variety of different clubs focused on providing community for students to find belonging in a way that matches their personal interests.

How can I get involved?

Take a look at the NU Connect dashboard to see what times and where clubs gather!

Be sure to join us at the You Belong Fair on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, to see all of the clubs that will be offered this year!

How can I start a Club?

Read the Clubs and Orgs Official Handbook to review all information and details.
Start gathering interest in your club from other students. Approval as an official club requires at least six members in addition to two club officers.
Complete the New Club Registration on NU Connect, under the ASNU page.
Meet with the ASNU Executive Team and Community Life Director to discuss club development, vision, how to lead a club, club resources, and finding an advisor. The Community Life Director can serve as the advisor for the club during Provisional club status (the first semester as a club).
Introduce your proposed group at an ASNU Senate meeting to have your club evaluated by student senators.
If both your club and budget is approved by ASNU Senate, final evaluation and approval will be passed by the Office of Student Development. If approved, your club will be granted Provisional status for a semester to serve as a trial period before becoming officially active.
