One useful intake point
Joining a club needs a few focused questions; starting one needs a workable plan. One opening choice can reveal the relevant path.
Show joiners interest and availability fields while founders see purpose, leadership, advisor, space, and budget questions.
Required grade, contact, schedule, and advisor fields give staff consistent details.
Tag each submission by path and status, then route it to the right reviewer.
Adapt to your program
Use a short signup for open clubs and more context for leadership groups or proposals.
Collect club choice, contact, availability, and interests without requiring an essay.
Add role preferences, experience, project ideas, and time commitments.
Request a purpose, activity plan, leaders, advisor status, meeting needs, and cost estimate.
Use plain language, short choices, homeroom details, and a family contact.
Build the workflow
Generate the structure, add your clubs and rules, then test both paths.
Describe the grades served, membership model, and information staff need for each decision.
Add your club list, required fields, and expectations; hide questions that do not apply.
Send join requests to advisors and proposals to activities staff, tagged by status.
Submit both paths and confirm students see relevant questions and reviewers get needed details.
Choose the right intake
One link can support simple membership requests and detailed new-club plans.
Field guide
Use these six sections as a checklist, then keep only information needed for the decision.
Student details
Use the school identifiers staff need. Structured fields are easier to review than an unrestricted information box.
Application path
Ask whether the student will join or propose. That answer controls later sections and routing.
Interest and fit
Tie reviewed-membership questions to participation. Open clubs may need only interests and availability.
Proposal substance
Ask what the group will do, whom it serves, and how it differs from current options.
Operations
Meeting and resource questions reveal room, supervision, and cost needs. Ask for estimates.
Advisor and review
Record advisor status and the next review step. Submission does not mean acceptance.

Clear answers for activities coordinators, advisors, and educators designing a fair student intake.
It lets students request club membership or propose a new group. Shared student details lead to focused questions about joiner interest and availability or founder plans, leaders, advisors, and resources.
Yes. Start with a required choice. Conditional sections show club choice and interest fields to joiners, or purpose, activity, advisor, meeting, and budget fields to founders. Each path can be tagged and routed separately.
Collect club choice, student details, reason for interest, availability, and relevant role preferences. Add experience questions only when they affect selection; open-membership clubs can use a shorter signup.
Ask for the name, purpose, activities, expected members, student leaders, evidence of interest, potential advisor, meeting plan, room or equipment needs, costs, and differences from existing clubs.
No. It gathers information for school review. Explain the next step, such as advisor confirmation, staff review, a meeting, or revisions, without treating submission as acceptance.
Use plain language, short choices, grade, and homeroom. Ask about enjoyable activities and available days instead of essays. Label any family contact field and explain why it is needed.
Yes. Makeform offers unlimited free forms and responses, including generation, editing, publishing, and collection. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge.
Tag each path, add statuses such as New, Waiting for advisor, Needs revision, and Complete, and send it to the appropriate reviewer. Keep internal notes separate from student-facing questions.
