Returning RSO

Definition

A Returning RSO can be defined as follows:

  • An organization that has previously existed at Florida State University and successfully obtained registered status from the Office of Student Organizations & Involvement but has been inactive for three or more registration cycles (this is also the equivalent of three academic years).

Process

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 registered status. Below, you will find a detailed explanation of the registration process. 

1. Complete Hazing Prevention Certification

  • Four members of your organization must complete the Hazing Prevention Course during the academic year in which registration is sought.
  • Visit FSU.prevent.zone and log in using your FSU ID and password.
  • Complete all required hazing prevention training.

2. Complete the New Officer Checklist in FSU HQ

The following officer requirements are completed through the New Officer Checklist in FSU HQ:

  • RSO 101 Module
  • RSO 101 Quiz
  • SGA Financial Manual Review
  • SGA Financial Quiz
  • LeadFSU Student Leadership Training

All RSOs must successfully complete the required quizzes with a score of 80% or higher.

3. Submit the RSO Registration Application in FSU HQ

  • Log in to FSU HQ using your myFSU credentials.
  • Select the Organizations tab.
  • Click Register an Organization from the left-hand menu.
  • Select your organization from the list or choose Register a New Organization.

As part of the registration application, the Officer must complete and sign the following forms:

  • RSO Agreement Packet
  • Constitution Addendum
  • SGA Statement of Understanding Form
  • Provide an updated and complete roster for your organization through the roster function of FSU HQ

Additional notes:

  • The RSO Registration Application can be saved and completed at a later time.
  • If your application is denied, you may edit and resubmit the original application rather than starting a new application.
  • Registration will not be approved until all required registration steps have been completed.

Organizations are required to complete this process once per 12 month period. SOI will email you a month before you need to be re-registered as a reminder to complete the process. If you do not, your organization will forfeit all of its benefits and privileges until fully re-registered (all planned events and room reservations will be canceled if you let your registration lapse).
