Registration is a process that must be completed annually by all student organizations to receive and maintain privileges on campus.
Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) are expected to provide up-to-date information each year and provide updates (change of officers, advisor, or constitution) throughout the year as needed for verification and continuation of recognized status. There are separate recognition processes for New RSOs and Returning RSOs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a new RSO and a returning RSO?
New RSOs are organizations that have never existed on campus, never had an InvolveFSU page, or are returning after 3 years of inactivity.
Who can start a new RSO?
Any FSU student who is currently enrolled in at least 6 credit hours.
When should I start my RSO?
You are welcome to submit your New RSO application at any point in the year.
How do I get people to join my RSO?
Student Organizations & Involvement sends out a weekly newsletter to students in InvolveFSU called RSO Connect. You can submit an announcement about your proposed RSO to be published in the RSO Connect before it is officially registered.
You are also allowed to attend one Market Wednesday before you are registered. Campus Event Services also allows you to reserve one meeting space before becoming fully registered in order for you to host an interest meeting.
Once I submit my application to start my new RSO, how long will it take to review it?
Once an application has been submitted it may take up to two weeks to hear back from Student Organizations & Involvement on the status of the organization. If your application is denied for any reason, you will be given the chance to edit your original application and re-submit for review.
