CAMPUS CLUBS
Want to Join or Start a Student Club?
Campus Clubs are a great way to meet people, work together with your peers toward a common goal, or share a space with like-minded individuals.
The Red River College Polytechnic Students’ Association (RRCSA) is here to help you with that!
You can join an already existing CLUB or start your Own!
The RRCSA sub-categorizes the student-led clubs into two categories, i.e., Academic Club and Non-Academic Club.
- Academic clubs consist of a group of students with a common academic, course, or class interest.
- Non-Academic clubs consist of a group of students with a common interest in extra-curriculum activities.
If you want to know what clubs are already available for joining, scroll down to the Clubs Directory.
The RRCSA offers support to recognized student groups including equipment rentals, meeting spaces, funding, and more.
Please read the Club Policies and Procedures and Club FAQs to know everything related to Campus Clubs.
If you have any questions, contact the Club Manager (sa_internal@rrc.ca)
Interested in joining an existing Club? You are at the right place!
Fill out the form below and the Club Signing Officers would notify you once they add you to the Club.
Note on MEMBERSHIP: 80% of the Club membership must be current RRC Polytech students. If you are a non-student member (this may be RRC Polytech Staff or Alumni), then the Club Signing Officers will add you to the Club, depending on the requirement, otherwise, your contact details will be saved for future.
Refer to the CLUB Policies and Procedures for more details.
Want to Start your own Club?
Following are the steps for starting your own student club:
- Look into the Clubs Directory to see if the club you want to run already exists. If the purposes, commodities, or services of your club are too similar to those of another club or your club recognition application is too identical, the RRCSA may refuse it at the discretion of the Executives (VP Internal or VP External Affairs).
- Read the Club Policies and Procedures thoroughly (especially the MEMBERSHIP section of the document)
- Determine the club’s interest and demand among students. If you mention your club idea to other students (classmates, friends, etc.) and no one looks interested, you will have a difficult time launching your club.
To register, your Club must have 5 student members who are in good standing with RRC Polytech and RRCSA.
Refer to the CLUB Policies and Procedures for more details.
