Registered Student Organizations: Re-Register Now for 2024-25; Deadline May 12

Registered Student Organization re-registration for the 2024-2025 academic year is now open. RSO's must re-register by May 12, 2024, in order to have RSO benefits. All current RSOs that plan to be active during the 2024-2025 academic year must complete the registration process between March 11 and May 12. The following steps are required for groups to re-register:  

1. The president or treasurer currently listed in HogSync should initiate the RSO's HogSync renewal process by completing the RSO Re-Registration Form (blue button prompted in HogSync). The following information will be required, so please gather all information before initiating the renewal: 

1. RSO Constitution  

2. RSO Purpose Statement/Description 

3. RSO Logo 

4. List of all RSO officers and advisers, including UARK email addresses 

2. Advisers must complete the required Adviser Certification Form. Students cannot complete this form on the behalf of their RSO adviser, and the adviser must be visible in the HogSync roster. This form must be completed with every re-registration cycle or any time you change advisers. It is the student's responsibility to direct the RSO adviser to the appropriate form. Advisers will not get an automatic notification from HogSync.  

3. President and treasurer must complete the RSO President/Treasurer quiz.

4. Once the re-registration has been submitted, adviser form is received and both quizzes are passed with 80% or greater, and required officers have accepted their positions, the RSO's profile and officers will be reviewed.

Frequently Asked Questions 

• Why the earlier deadline? RSO benefits for the 2024-25 academic year expire May 12, 2024, so the Office of Student Activities is requiring re-registration prior to leaving for summer break. Many students and advisers are completely unavailable for the summer due to travel or internships. Having a deadline prior to the end of the semester will allow us time to follow up on groups with elements missing and provide students a chance to respond prior to Reading Day. Groups will go into the summer knowing their RSO is set up for success in the next academic year, which begins May 15, 2024, and ends May 12, 2025.   

• What if I'm graduating or will not be returning as an officer? You should move forward with re-registration if you are currently listed as president or treasurer of your RSO in HogSync. An Officer Update Form can address any changes after re-registration is completed.  

• What if we have upcoming officer changes? Your RSO can always complete an Officer Update Form once re-registration is completed. 

• What if I miss the deadline? Current RSOs that miss the re-registration window will be able to re-register through June 30 but will not be able to register for HillFest, the campus-wide welcome back event that will occur Monday, Aug. 19, on the Union Mall. All other RSO benefits, including the ability to request checks or reserve space and the ability to fundraise, among other benefits, will expire on June 30. RSOs that miss the June 30 window will have a brief window in September to re-register. 

• What if my group isn't listed in HogSync, but we have been registered previously? Any group not registered in the 2024-25 academic year will need to register as a new RSO. Please contact the Office of Student Activities to learn the process for these groups. New RSOs can form at any time but do not have benefits until registration is complete.  

• What if I'm starting a new RSO? New RSOs are eligible to form at any time during the academic year. If you register for the first time between March 11 and May 12, your registration will include the rest of this academic year AND the 2024-25 academic year! For individuals wishing to start a new RSO, check out the requirements on the OSA website.
