It is the last day for Registered Student Organizations who missed the fall deadline to re-register for the 2014 spring semester. To be active during the 2014 spring semester RSOs who missed the deadline must complete the registration process by today, Jan. 24. All paperwork and database links are available at http://osa.uark.edu/rso.

According to university policy, student groups must be registered in order to:

• Use university facilities
• Be listed in university publications, websites and newsletters
• Use the university name in publicity and press releases
• Use university logos and trademarks
• Apply for and expend university funds as distributed through the Associated Student Government

• Participate in any information fairs
• Apply for university recognition for organizational achievement
• Conduct fundraisers on campus
• Reserve meeting space on campus

• Obtain locker or mailbox space through the office of student activities
• Additionally, the office of student activities works closely with our registered student organizations, offering trainings, workshops, event consultations, a resource room, an RSO meeting space, informational listservs, and other helpful tools.

When your group forms an RSO, you open up a world of opportunities to make your group as successful as possible! To become an active RSO, check out the requirements on the OSA website.

Remember, new RSOs can form at any time.
