Hi there! 🎉
Welcome to Penn Clubs, the University of Pennsylvania's official registry for student organizations on campus. The purpose of this guide is to walk you through the steps of how to show up as a member on a club's page. This is not a guide on how to join a club that you are not already part of. Each club has their own application process.
1) Login
When you navigate to pennclubs.com, you should see a red "Login" button on the top-right corner (as shown below). Click there to be navigated to the Penn login page, where you must login with your PennKey and password.
2) Customizing your Profile
At pennclubs.com/welcome, you will see a series of fields that will allow you to customize your profile on the Penn Clubs site. You will be able to add a public profile picture, change your graduation year, add your school(s), and major(s). On, Penn Clubs, clubs are able to designate "target" schools, years, and majors, to better personalize the browsing page for prospective members. Don't forget to hit the green "Save" button when you are done!
3) Being added to a Club
Option A: You have been invited to join the club already.
You should have received an e-mail from info@pennclubs.com (check your Promotions tab if you have one). The subject line should read Invitation to [club name], and looks like the image below. Simply click the link below that says "Join [club name]".
If you are directed to the Penn login screen, then the pennclubs.com/welcome page, please fill out the forms as shown above in the Login section, and hit continue at the end of the page.
You will be redirected to a page (shown below) that allows you to choose whether or not your membership will be public, even to non PennKey holders. Once you make your selection, hit the "Accept Invitation", and you should be all set!
Option B: You have not been invited to join the club already.
Once you navigate to the club's page of the club you want to join, hit the green "Request Membership" button on the top-right corner of the page, and click "Confirm" on the popup.
Once you do this, your club officer must approve your membership by navigating to the "Manage Club" page, then to the "Membership" tab, and approve your membership status in the "Membership Requests" section. After you have been accepted, a club officer can change your role name.
