If your organization fails to complete the annual re-registration, it will become inactive. This means the organization will be removed from the registered student organization list and will have no rights as a registered student organization at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. If an organization is inactive for over a year, the organization will be disabled and considered dissolved. This will result in all organization funding being returned to the Student Activity Fee Committee. Student inactive Student Organization will be eligible to re-register until the next registration period if they miss the September 2021 deadline.

Contact the Coordinator of Student Organizations to let them know you are interested in reactivating an organization (getinvolved@umkc.edu).
