In order to receive support from University Mission and Ministry, we need to have an accurate representation of student organizations. To help us achieve this, each member must sign up with each group they participate with. Here's how:

  • Visit bc.edu/ummstpm 
  • Find your group(s) on this page and click the blue hyperlinked name
  • Click the Register button
  • Sign in with your BC credentials
  • You're all set for the year; thank you!

Each student organization is welcome to have its own Campus Ministry-hosted website (view the list of Student Faith Organizations websites).

If you have updates or edits for your group's page at any point throughout the year, please submit a request through the Student Faith Request Form with details about the changes you would like made. Please include pictures, with photo credits, if possible. Edits are made within two business days.
