Naming Your Club

A great name highlights the purpose of your club and can indicate to members if your club is active accross all Adelaide University or is Campus specific.

Here are some hints to help you pick a name that will help your target audience find you.

  • Clubs are listed alphabetically, so think about where your name will show up.

  • Put what you actually do at the front so people can find you easily.

  • If you start with something generic (like Adelaide University), your club might get lost in the crowd.

  • Keep it short, shorter names are easier to remember.

  • Acronyms are fine… as long as people know what they mean.

  • If someone sees your club name for the first time, they should instantly get what you’re about.


Using Adelaide University Branding

Clubs are only allowed to use the phrase "Adelaide University" in their club name if they have recieved permission from AUSA as part of their AUSA Registration Agreement. Clubs are not allowed to acknowledge, display, use, publish or otherwise refer to Adelaide University marks (including the logo) in any other club materials.


How to Start a Club

AUSA is currently focussing on the continuity of service for the clubs that existed previously at UniSA and UofA. Therefore, new clubs will open at a later date.
