Registration Forms

This page will show you how to access club registration on Rubric as a re-registering student group, along with the preliminary steps necessary to format all required information for the form.

This is considered step 5 in the process outlined on this page. Please ensure all previous steps are completed before beginning the registration form.

Ensure that you have already set yourself as the primary officer (President) for the club. If you have yet to complete this step, refer to this page.

The first step is to login to your student account on hellorubric.com.

1. Click the "Login" drop-down and select Student Portal.
2. Login with your UAlberta email and password.
3. Click the icon in the upper right-hand corner.
4. From the options, click on the name of your student group under "Switch Accounts".
   1. You will now be viewing your club page as a club executive.

Next, navigate to the correct recognition process.

1. Click on "Forms" in the top navigation bar.
2. Under "Affiliation Processes" click "Student Group Recognition Process." You should select the process for the current calendar year; SGS will inform you if you need to use the process for the previous calendar year.

If done correctly, you should be able to see the form submission page, with the "Submit Form" button:

Groups will need to receive full approval on their registration BEFORE their deadline. Otherwise, the group will be automatically disaffiliated and lose access to Rubric's features, including but not limited to: event submission, membership management, elections, etc.

A detailed breakdown of your registration deadline and submission window can be found here.

ELECTION MONTH	REGISTRATION OPENS	REGISTRATION DEADLINE
January	January 1st	February 28th
February	February 1st	March 31st
March	March 1st	April 30th
April	April 1st	May 31st
May	May 1st	June 30th
June	June 1st	July 31st
July	July 1st	August 31st
August	August 1st	September 30th
September	September 1st	October 31st
October	October 1st	November 30th
November	November 1st	December 31st
December	December 1st	January 31st (Following Year)

An example is as follows:

• An Election Month indicates that your elections are held sometime within that month - in this example it is April.
• Your group's registration form will open at the beginning of your election month, two months before your deadline - in this example it would be April 1st.
• Your deadline is set to the last day of the month following your election month. You must have your registration fully approved by that day - in this example, it would be May 31st.
  

Registration submissions that do not meet requirements will be denied for resubmission without possibility of extending the original deadline. We highly recommend student groups submit their registrations as soon as possible in case it is initially denied. To optimize your student group registration:

1. The outgoing President (or equivalent) can prepare certain sections of the registration beforehand, such as renewing insurance, or receiving a licensing agreement for trademarks & logo.
2. Holding your elections within the first week of your election month. This allows for additional time to obtain approval, compared to holding your elections at the end of the month. 
3. Prepare transition files and meetings. This will help your student group pass on knowledge and processes to avoid incomplete or rushed registrations. An example of transition documents can be found here.
