Registered student organization re-registration for the 2014-15 academic year is now open. All returning RSOs that plan to be active during the 2014-2015 academic year must complete the registration process by Sept. 15. All paperwork and database links are available at osa.uark.edu/rso.

New RSOs are eligible to form at any time during the academic year. Returning RSOs that miss the April-September window will be able to re-register for the spring semester in January 2015 but will not have privileges during the fall 2014 semester.

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
• Apply for and occupy office space in a university building
• Participate in university programs as an organization
• Participate in any information fairs
• Apply for university recognition for organizational achievement
• Conduct fundraisers on campus
• Reserve meeting space on campus
• Utilize organizational emails, websites and listservs
• Obtain locker or mailbox space through the Office of Student Activities

Additionally, the Office of Student Activities works closely with registered student organizations and offers 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.
