Student Group Re-Registration

The purpose of re-registration is to ensure that CampusGroups is populated with active, well-described groups and accurate officer information. This will help create the best possible experience for all users of the platform, particularly those looking for groups and programs to connect with or events to attend.

Student groups must re-register twice annually in order to maintain their status and group access.

Fall 2026 Timeline

Event/DateDescription
Anytime prior to Sep. 1Groups can prepare for re-registration by updating their officer lists and setting positions for the current academic year. 
Open Re-Registration
Sep. 1 to Sep. 30
 
Groups should complete all three re-registration steps within this timeframe to maintain continuous operations. That includes the required officers (advisor, president, treasurer and risk manager) signing into CampusGroups and approving their roles via workflow.
Deadline
Thursday, Oct. 1
 
Groups with incomplete re-registrations (including those still waiting on their advisors or officers to approve) will be locked. Public CampusGroups content (websites, events, etc.) may be unpublished. 
Late Re-Registration
Oct. 1 to Oct. 31
 
Groups can still start the re-registration process, but cannot access or edit their own officer lists and must allow extra time for admins to do it manually. Groups with pending re-registrations can still collect approval from their advisor/officers to complete re-registration.
Close
Sunday, Nov. 1
 
Re-registration submission and approval is no longer available. Groups that do not have a fully approved re-registration will be considered inactive and delisted from CampusGroups.

Instructions

Step 1: Update officers and positions in CampusGroups.

Any officer with "Manage Officers" permission can assist with this step.

  1. Manage your group in CampusGroups (community.case.edu).
  2. Navigate to Dashboard -> Officers.
  3. Ensure that your officer list is up-to-date.
  4. Use the "Position" dropdowns to designate who is in each role. Ensure that every officer has a position set, and that all required roles are filled appropriately (see below).

This step is only available prior to the deadline. If the deadline has passed, proceed directly to the next step.

Step 2: Complete the re-registration form.

One officer must complete this on behalf of the group.

  1. Manage your group in CampusGroups (community.case.edu).
  2. Click the blue "Group Re-Registration" button at the top of the group dashboard to start the form.
  3. After you submit the form, the re-registration workflow will pull your officers and advisor directly from your officer list and send them an email notification prompting them to review and approve their roles.

Step 3: Ensure that all officers approve their roles.

All officers in required roles, including the advisor, must participate in this step.

  1. Check your email for a message from admin@campusgroups.com with the subject line "Workflow: Re-Registration by [submitter name] needs your approval".
  2. Click the purple "View Workflow" button.
    • If you encounter a login screen, log in with CWRU SSO, then return to the email and click "View Workflow" again.
  3. Check that all roles listed in the "Officer Confirmation" step are populated appropriately.
    • Mobile device users will need to scroll down then to the right to locate this area of the workflow.
    • If you need to change officers or advisor, read "How do I change my group's officers?" in the FAQs below.
  4. Click or tap the green "I approve" button under your role/name to confirm that you will be serving that role in the group for the 2026-2027 academic year.
  5. Verify that the text under your name has changed to a green "Approved" chip and displays the date and time you approved.

If you can't locate your workflow notification email, you may need to check your CampusGroups notification settings and update your global notification settings.

As an alternative, you can use the link below to access re-registration workflows that you have not yet approved.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. It is the shared responsibility of the group's student officers to monitor the re-registration status and ensure that all required steps are completed correctly during the re-registration period.

This includes returning to the re-registration workflow to ensure that your advisor, president, treasurer, and risk manager confirm their roles.

The most direct way to return to a specific workflow is through the "View Workflow" button in your initial workflow notification email.

You can also log in to CampusGroups (community.case.edu) and revisit any workflow in any stage of approval in "My Activity" -> "My Workflows". 

You must change the first dropdown filter to "Active Workflows" to see workflows that don't currently require a response from you, but still need action from others. 

To view approved workflows, set the first filter to "All Workflows" and the second filter to "Approved".
 

"Resend notification" link under their name

Anyone who can see the workflow can click the "Resend Notification" link under the name of another officer who hasn't approved yet.

This will send another copy of the workflow notification email that contains the "View Workflow" button.

Send them this webpage

Copy-paste the URL from the browser bar and send it to them by email or another channel you know they will see.

Alternately, you can copy-paste information related to their specific problem and send it to them.

  1. Check your email for a message from admin@campusgroups.com with the subject line "Workflow: Re-Registration by [submitter name] needs your approval".
  2. Click on "View Workflow".
  3. Look for your name and position on the CampusGroups workflow interface.
  4. If the position is the one you are serving for the 2026-2027 academic year, click "I approve" under your name.
  5. If the position is inaccurate, or you are NOT an officer of the group, use the "Everyone involved in the workflow AND the submitter" workflow chat button to let the other officers and admins know.

Can't find the email?

If you can't find the workflow notification email through search or in your spam folder, you may need to check your CampusGroups notification settings and update your global notification settings in order to receive them in the future.

In the meantime, you can log into into CampusGroups (community.case.edu) and access the re-registration workflow in "My Activity" -> "My Workflows".

The button below is a shortcut to a filtered view of "My Workflows" that shows only re-registration workflows that require action from you.

Check for Re-Registrations Awaiting My Approval

Anytime Outside Re-Registration and/or Before the Deadline

To add new officers and designate roles for the current academic year, follow the steps in this help article: Appointing Group Officers.

Use the "Position" dropdown to designate each officer's role, ensuring that:

  • the required roles are filled appropriately (see below)
  • no officer has a blank position (use "Officer" if no other roles apply)

If you do not update your officer list or set positions appropriately, your re-registration will not be approved.

Other fields, such as Bio, Administrative Role, Custom Position, and Role can be used to customize your officer list further, but they do not affect the workflow and are not required.

To remove former officers, follow these steps:

  1. Log into community.case.edu with CWRU SSO.
  2. Manage your group (accessible through the "Groups" topbar menu item).
  3. Click on the "Officers" dashboard tile or left sidebar menu link.
  4. Uncheck the "Active Officer" box to the right of each officer you need to remove.

When removing officers, be aware of which officer roles are required by your recognizing organization. If a required position is empty, your group's recognition status and benefits may be at risk.

After the Deadline

After the deadline passes, you will no longer be able to access your group and update the officer list yourself.

Instead, you will be asked to enter your president, treasurer, advisor, and risk manager directly on the re-registration form.

You will then need to wait for an admin to update your officer list for you. 

Once that is done, your officers will receive the workflow email notifications as described in the instructions and can approve your roles.

If trying to access your group shows a blue "pending" message or redirects you to the CampusGroups homepage, you can use one of the following methods to request an update to required officer roles:

Workflow Chat

Any officer with their "Position" dropdown set can use this method.

  1. Open your group's re-registration workflow.
  2. Click the "Everyone involved in the workflow AND the submitter" chat button (top left near the submitter info).
  3. Send the network IDs and positions of the officers who need to be added/updated on the workflow.
Re-Registration Form Submission

Only the officer who originally submitted the re-registration form can use this method.

  1. Open your group's re-registration workflow.
  2. Click the blue "Requires Modifications" button.
  3. Open the submission, then add or modify the required officer fields on the form.
  4. Click the purple "Save"/"Resubmit" button to save your changes.

Undergraduate Student Organizations

  • Advisor (CWRU staff or faculty)
  • President (CWRU undergraduate student)
  • Treasurer (CWRU undergraduate student)
  • Risk Manager* (CWRU undergraduate student)

Graduate/Professional Student Organizations

  • Advisor (CWRU staff or faculty)
  • President (CWRU student)
  • Treasurer (CWRU student)
  • Risk Manager* (CWRU student)

*While all groups must have a designated risk manager, this role can be taken on by someone who is also serving in another officer role. In this case, set the position dropdown to reflect the other role, and specify them as the Risk Manager on page 2 in the re-registration form.

These roles must be continuously occupied in order for your group to maintain status.

Before you begin, ensure that your group's officer list is already updated for 2025-2026 and compliant with your recognizing organization's requirements (see above for instructions and requirements).

Page 1

First, you will be first be asked to review your group's directory information:

  • Group Name
  • Categories
  • Mission
  • Membership Benefits
  • Goals
  • Constitution
  • Logo

If any of the following fields are empty, you will be required to update them before you can proceed:

  • Mission
  • Membership Benefits
  • Logo

Page 2

On the second page, you will be asked to enter your designated risk manager and review available CampusGroups resources and support options.

The following information is provided to help you proactively check for potential issues instead of waiting for an admin to tell you about them.

If all required positions are filled correctly and all officers and the advisor have approved the workflow, no action is needed. It will be approved prior to the deadline so that your access to the group will not be interrupted.

Open the re-registration workflow through your email notification or My Workflows. (You may need to change the first filter to "Active Workflows" to see it.)

Ensure that there are NO empty positions or positions filled inappropriately (e.g. a student with the advisor position, an alum in any student officer position).

If there are, update your officer list using the guidelines above.

Then, return to the workflow and click "Resend notification" to anyone who was just added. You can also use "Resend notification" or reach out separately to remind someone to approve their role.

If the workflow has proceeded to Final Check

If the workflow has already proceeded past the officer approval step with empty or incorrect positions, click "Reset Workflow" to bring it back to an earlier step. 

If you can't see your group's workflow after filtering to "Active Workflows"

Prior to the deadline, you can still check your officer list and make sure everyone has the correct role for 2025-2026. 

After updating roles, you may gain access to the workflow and be able to see who has confirmed, and send reminders to those who haven't.

After the deadline, you can send this webpage to fellow officers and advisor and ask them to follow the Step 3 instructions to confirm their roles and check the workflow for incorrect/empty positions. 

If your group re-registration is not completed fully and correctly before the deadline, all officers will be locked out of the group. You will not be able to view or use any group features, including the officer list, budget tools, events, etc.

Your public website and upcoming events may be unpublished.

One officer will have to log into CampusGroups and fill out the re-registration form, then wait for an admin to update the officer list before your key officers can approve.

After the re-registration deadline

  • Post-deadline officer updates for late/noncompliant groups will be handled by admins in order they are received.
  • The group advisor and officers will still need to confirm their roles after the admin update.

Overall, this could add up to several days or multiple weeks before you regain access to your group.

If you have important things you want to do in the weeks following the re-registration deadline, plan accordingly.

After re-registration closes

Failure to complete all steps of re-registration prior to close will result in your group going inactive. See Student Organization Recognition for more information.

 

Contact an Admin

If you have additional questions or need to change an answer on your re-registration, use the "Everyone involved in the workflow AND the submitter" workflow chat button to ask. This will greatly expedite our response time and help keep everyone on the same page.
