Register your club

One person applies, the club gets reviewed, and from then on your whole committee can host under it. You only ever do this once per club.

Who should apply

Any logged-in student can submit an application, but it should be someone who will still be around next semester: the applicant becomes the club's first coordinator and the person we contact about it. A club secretary or technical head is the usual choice.

Registered clubs include departmental associations, technical chapters such as IEEE or CSI, cultural committees, sports bodies, student councils and fest organizing teams. If a group of students hosts events under a name, it can be a club here.

Applying

  1. 1

    Log in to your personal account

    If you don't have one yet, start with creating your account.

  2. 2

    Open the registration form

    Go to Organize → Register a club. You can also reach it from the Host Event screen, which offers to register a club when you don't have one yet.

  3. 3

    Fill in the club's details

    Six fields, listed in full below. It takes a few minutes.

  4. 4

    Watch the screening run

    Submitting kicks off automated screening — it checks the name and description for banned content, matches your institute, and looks for a duplicate club at your college. It takes about 15 seconds.

    Almost every genuine club passes and goes live immediately. If something is flagged, the club is held for a human to look at rather than rejected, and you get a reply on your contact email within a couple of working days.

Live vs verified

These are two different things, and it is worth knowing which one you have.

Live
Passed automated screening. Your club exists, appears publicly, and can host free events, take registrations, run check-ins and issue certificates — everything except charging for tickets.
Verified
A person at ScrollConnect has confirmed your club is what it says it is. This removes the 'Unverified' tag from your club page and unlocks paid ticketing. It is manual, and usually follows within a couple of working days.

If you're planning a paid event

Register the club well before you need to sell tickets, and write to hello@scrollconnect.com if it is time-sensitive. Paid ticketing stays locked until verification comes through — free events are unaffected.

What the form asks for

Club namerequired
The full official name, e.g. “Computer Society of India (Student Chapter)”. It must be unique within your institute; if another team has already registered the same name at your college, the application is rejected as a duplicate.
Short namerequired
The acronym people actually use, e.g. CSI or IEEE. Up to 30 characters. It appears on event cards and badges.
Descriptionrequired
What the club does, in a few sentences — at least 20 letters. This is the first thing a student reads on your club page, so write it for someone who has never heard of you.
Contact emailrequired
The club's official address, not a personal one. Approval and attendee queries go here, and it survives committee handovers.
Instituterequired
Your college. Pick it from the list; suggest it if it is missing.
Department
Optional. Set it if the club belongs to one branch, such as a departmental association rather than a college-wide body.

Getting approved faster

Use the club's official email domain where you have one, write a description that names the college, and submit the name exactly as your institute recognises it. Vague applications from personal Gmail addresses are the ones that come back with questions.

Once your club is live

The club appears under Manage clubs, and you, as the person who applied, are its initiator, with full edit and post rights. From the club dashboard you can:

  • Edit the club profile: logo, description and contact email. The logo shows on every event card your club publishes.
  • Add coordinators and members: bring in the rest of your committee.
  • See every event the club has hosted and jump into any of their dashboards.

Coordinator permissions

Access is granted per person, with two independent switches. Give people the narrower one where you can: it keeps a large committee from accidentally editing a live event.

Can post
Publish events and blogs on behalf of the club. This is what a coordinator running an event needs.
Can edit
Change the club profile and its events. Reserve it for the core team: the secretary, the technical head, whoever is accountable for the club page.

Handing over to next year's committee

Add the incoming coordinators before the outgoing ones leave, then remove the people who have graduated. The club, its history and its events stay in place; only the people change.

Next

Once the club shows as approved, you can host your first event.
