Student Organization Group Sign Up

Thank you for your interest. Committed student organizations who meet the requirements below may sign up for a shift starting on August 19th, 2024.

Eligibility

There are several paid volunteer shifts that are only open to registered Student Organizations at UNC Charlotte. There are two types of shifts based on the number of volunteers a group can field: small group (5 total volunteers) and large group shifts (10 total volunteers). Paid Student Organization shifts require:

  • Must be a registered Student Organization highlighted green
  • 5 students per small group shift (also, the majority of students must be from applicable Student Organization)
  • 10 students per large group shift (also, the majority of students must be from applicable Student Organization)
  • 1 student must be designated as the main contact from the Student Organization who will be present during the shift (included in the 5 or 10 total students needed)
  • A Student Organization can only sign up for one paid shift the day of the festival

Sign Up Instructions

There are 11 paid student organization volunteer shifts. The sign up will only allow for one person to act as the designated Student Organization contact who will sign up with their contact information on behalf of their Student Organization (i.e. 4 or 9 other volunteers). This means they are:

  • Signing up on behalf of a registered Student Organization highlighted green
  • Guaranteeing 4 or 9 additional student volunteers for the shift
  • Will be present for the shift themselves

Please note that you and your Student Organization will not be confirmed for the shift until you receive a confirmation email from the Office of International Programs staff (i.e. the automated email you receive from signup.com does not serve as your official confirmation).
