Student Engagement and Campus Life Student Organizations

Student Engagement and Campus Life at Texas A&M University-Kingsville is committed to the social and academic growth of our students. We strive to provide a variety of programs that are cultural, educational, and entertaining for the TAMUK campus. We also help coordinate the activities and functions of more than 100 registered student organizations. We have departmental clubs, special interest clubs, honorary societies, religious groups, Greek organizations and sports clubs.

Organization Categories

We currently have two categories of organization to better identify the needs and resources for each of our TAMUK student organizations.

Sponsored Organizations

Registered Organizations

Club Sports

Sponsored organizations are those considered to be critical to the mission and culture of the University. These organizations are inherently linked to the University because of their role in representing the University or presenting events considered to be an integral part of the University. The activities and events of these organizations are considered to involve a higher level of complexity because of their scope and perceived association with the University. (Ex: Student Government Association, Campus Activities Board, Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Council, etc.)

Registered organizations are all those that do not meet the sponsored organization requirements.
Registered organizations play an essential role in hosting events and providing an opportunity for members to engage in the mission and purposes of the organization actively.

Registered organizations must have a minimum of 10 members, can fundraise, host campus events, are open to any enrolled TAMUK students (unless not meeting the organization's minimum requirements), and must adhere to all university policies.

Club Sports are student organizations, which have been recognized by the university qualifying them for use of facilities and funding. Admission is voluntary and open to all eligible students.

While Rec Sports assists clubs to secure needed funds, facilities, and equipment. The emphasis is on student leadership and involvement, so the success of each club depends on the efforts of its student leaders and members. Facility use and university funding will be available to aid students in their pursuit of club sustainability and growth. For basic renewal and club sports start up information please contact Rec Sports.
