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:

  • Create a new club.
  • Keep up with news and announcements for clubs you have joined.
  • Manage club rosters, if you’re an officer.
  • RSVP for upcoming virtual events. 
  • Search and request to join clubs.

Can ASU Online students join on-campus clubs?

Yes, all clubs at ASU are open to all students enrolled in at least one credit hour. However, campus-based clubs may have participation limits and leadership position opportunities based on their club constitutions.

The best way to find out options individual clubs have for ASU Online students is to reach out to club leaders using the contact information on their Sun Devil Sync profiles.

 

How do I create a new club?

If you’re passionate about a topic, chances are some of your fellow Sun Devils are too! 

To get started on a new club, email the online student engagement team with your idea and any questions. You can also self-enroll in a noncredit course in Canvas to get details on the requirements necessary to be approved as an officially recognized online club.
