Clubs and Groups

Global Campus students can join a wide range of organizations, groups, and clubs—or even create one of their own. These student-led communities host regular virtual meetings and events, giving you the chance to connect with fellow Cougs, pursue personal interests, and build meaningful networks. Along the way, you’ll enhance your résumé, prepare for academic success, and engage in fun opportunities, as many clubs host contests and award prizes to active participants.

How Global Campus Clubs Work

  • All Online, All Year: Groups host virtual meetings and events (weekly, monthly, or as scheduled).  
  • Community and Career: Network with peers, pursue interests, and build skills that boost academic and professional success.  
  • Earn Graduation Cords and Skill Badges: Showcase your involvement with cords at commencement and add verified skill badges to your résumé or LinkedIn profile.

Graduation Cords

By participating in Global Campus student organizations and clubs and attending at least six meetings or events, you’ll qualify for a graduation cord to wear with your regalia at commencement.

Cords and skill-building non-credit certificates (which come with digital badges you can showcase on your résumé or LinkedIn profile) are now tracked automatically through the Global Campus Involve platform.

Please note: To earn the Cougar Leadership, Wellness Online, and Crimson Compass cords, you must complete the full program associated with each.

If participating in our global campus spring commencement, all requirements must be completed by April 24, 2026. Cords will be mailed out between the last week of April to first week of May.

If participating in other WSU campuses, complete requirements by April 20, 2026, to expedite mailing of your cords.
