Recreation/game

Play for fun! These clubs gather around shared hobbies, casual sports, and all things recreational.

Religious

Faith-based groups provide opportunities for spiritual growth and connection, while remaining student-led and inclusive. Although the university, as a state institution, is prohibited from promoting religious activities, it recognizes the importance of religion and spirituality in the life and education of its students.

Representative

Get involved in student leadership through elected organizations that represent the student body.

While Northern Arizona University supports student organizations, registration of a student organization with the Office of Leadership and Engagement does not constitute university endorsement or approval of the policies and/or activities of the organization. No student organization should represent or imply that it speaks for or in the name of Northern Arizona University.
