If you are interested in forming a new club not currently available on campus, complete the following procedure:
1. Sign up for a preliminary meeting with the ICC Chair Elaine R. Smith, ICC Chair of Finance Jonathan Yeung, ICC Chair of Programs Levi Rosenthal or the Student Activities Specialist La Donna Yumori-kaku.
2. Submit a copy of your club's constitution.
3. Recruit at least one De Anza faculty or staff to serve as your club adviser. Your club adviser(s) will be actively involved in supporting your club's goals.
4. Have a minimum of 10 De Anza students with current DASB cards who are interested in joining your club and are able to attend your first informal meeting, where the club constitution will be presented and voted on.
5. Fill out an Event Planning Form to request a meeting room and submit it to the Student Activities Office at least 10 days prior to meeting date.
6. Schedule a formal meeting with the ICC officers to approve your club. If your club is qualified and approved by the ICC Executive Committee, your club will be announced as "on trial."
7. Your new club will be recognized under the trial period, but until you end the trial period, your club will not have voting rights during ICC meetings, will not be eligible for club awards, and will not be able to request club funds. To end the trial period, your new club must attend a club orientation with all of your officers in attendance and an ICC officer listed in step 1.
8. After your club orientation meeting, you will receive a club copy code to use the Student Activities Office copier with $100 allocated into your club account for official club use.
9. To continue an active status, send your club's ICC representative to the weekly ICC meeting held on Wednesdays at 1:30 p.m. in the Student Council Chambers.
Official clubs benefit by being able to organize official campus events and make requests from ICC for up to $1,500 for club costs per quarter.
