Student organizations promote student engagement, leadership development, and campus involvement. Participation provides opportunities to connect with peers, faculty, and staff advisors; develop leadership skills; and engage in community and civic activities. Students interested in joining an organization should consult their advisor for more information.
Chartering a New Student Organization
Savannah Technical College supports the formation of new student organizations when there is demonstrated student or faculty interest. Organizations may be dissolved if interest or purpose no longer exists.

Charter applications are reviewed by the Student Activities Coordinator and approved by the Vice President for Student Affairs and the College President. Approved organizations may use college facilities and are eligible for student activity funding in accordance with College and TCSG policies.
