Student Clubs and Organizations
The Office of Student Life supports and oversees all student clubs/organizations. There are recreational, educational, cultural, religious, and resource focused clubs and organizations that help serve the diverse goals and interests of COD students.
Officially chartered clubs are entitled to meet, host events and activities, participate in college sponsored events, raise funds, and otherwise operate as an official entity recognized by College of the Desert.
