Clubs and Organizations
Student Led, Student Initiated
Student Clubs and Organizations are an essential part of Highline College’s community. Clubs and organizations have been organized by Highline College students with common interests and career goals. Clubs offer a comfortable atmosphere for students to experience personal growth, gain leadership skills, meet new friends, share common interest.

Frequently Asked Questions About Clubs
Where do I find information about the clubs that presently exist on campus?
Please visit our Clubs Directory page or come visit the yellow clubs bulletin board in the hallway adjacent to the Center for Leadership and Service (Third floor of Building 8); We have a clubs directory listed there as well. As clubs get recognized for the 2023-2024 school year they will be listed on our directory. We also have quarterly Clubs Fairs in Mt. Constance/Olympus, Building 8, which are a great opportunity to meet with clubs and club leaders.
How do I join a club?
Joining a club is very easy! Attend a scheduled club meeting or you can email the club directly to discuss your questions about joining a club.
Clubs are open to all Highline College students, except in clubs/student organizations that are chapters of national organizations that have limitations on membership; These limits can only be based on class standing (# credits), academic standing (GPA), and/or academic major. Clubs/student organizations may choose to allow non-Highline students as long as their membership does not limit the participation of Highline students. Highline clubs do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, national origin, sex, disability, age, honorably discharged veteran or military status or sexual orientation.
How do I start a club?
When and how do clubs begin meeting?
Clubs first need to become recognized to become an official Highline College club. Once recognized, club leaders fill out an Activities Action Form to request a regular meeting day, time, and location. Once Clubs Team confirms the request, the club may start holding meetings.
What kinds of support do clubs have?
Highline College clubs are supported by the Clubs Team at the Center for Leadership & Service. Clubs Team consists of four Clubs Consultants (CCs) who encourage and support Highline Students to make their ideas a reality. Once recognized, clubs have access to materials/supplies, meeting space, and advertising support. Clubs may also request approval and funding for supplies, food, and travel.
