What are online clubs, and which can I join at ASU?
Online clubs form as a way for like-minded Sun Devils to virtually gather outside of the classroom. They offer the same opportunities as campus-based clubs, such as attending virtual meetings, participating in events and receiving club swag. Joining clubs also allow you to do the following:
- Build friendships.
- Gain leadership skills.
- Receive mentorship from ASU faculty and/or staff.
There are currently more than 30 clubs created and managed by ASU Online students. You may browse active clubs on Sun Devil Sync, ASU’s hub for student organizations. Select ‘ASU Online’ in the branches dropdown for organizations specific to online students. After creating an account, you can do the following on the platform:

- RSVP for upcoming virtual events.
- Search and request to join clubs.
