Student Branches are the backbone of the IEEE student program. That is why IEEE has created a variety of resources here to ensure that they are successful in their work.
How to form new student groups
Guidelines for establishing an IEEE Student Branch as well as the required petition form are available in two formats below.
Information is also available on establishing an IEEE student branch chapter of technical societies. A Student Branch Chapter is a technical sub-unit of an IEEE Student Branch.

- Student Branch Chapter Formation Word Document(DOC, 65.5KB)
Students may also petition to establish an IEEE student branch affinity group of Women in Engineering. A Student Branch affinity group is a sub-unit of an IEEE Student Branch.
Steps for Student Branch reporting
Student Branches can report their officers at any time during the year and annually when elections are held.
Online student officer reporting
In May 2010, annual activity reporting for Student Branches is available online. This easy to use online form will simplify the annual reporting that all Student Branches are required to submit to IEEE. The one, simple online form takes the place of the printed annual report of activities and the annual plan of activities. You will need your IEEE web account username and password to log in.
Student Branch activity report online
Upon submitting the online form in May or two months after the academic year ends for you, the Student Branches will receive a combined payment of the Student Branch rebate/allotment, which is based on membership statistics as of 31 December 2009.
To assist Student Branches with operational expenses, IEEE provides financial assistance directly to Student Branches. The online reporting gives IEEE important updates from the Student Branch including a web site and email address, financial data, a calendar of planned activities for the next academic year and events held during the previous academic year, feedback on their primary purpose, goals and challenges. The Student Branch will also be able to send copies of the reporting to the Region and Section by entering e-mail addresses.Benefits of completing the online activity reporting include:
- Your student branch will receive one combined payment of the US $2 per Student member rebate and the allotment of either US $50 or US $100 based on membership as of 31 December 2009 membership statistics.
- Your student branch will not be required to submit any other activity report this year.
- Your Student Branch officers will be able to view the report you submit online and see the great things your branch did in the past.
Student Branch Web site development
Student branches interested in creating and hosting a Web site can use IEEE Entity Web Hosting services.
Student member recruiting, retention, and tracking and officer tracking
To help recruit and retain IEEE student members, membership development materials are sent to every IEEE Student Branch Counselor in August each year. More materials can be ordered, if needed.
When more materials are needed, use the online supplies form
Student Branch Counselors and Student Branch Chairs now have access to branch membership information through SAMIEEE.
