Congratulations on your New RSO!
Below you will find information important to your RSO as it begins! Please review throughout the year as needed.
RSO Fair
RSO Fair is a chance to show students your organization in a RSO-only fair a couple weeks after they see what their Fall classes will require of them and have assessed their availability.
This year’s RSO Fair will be held on September 19th from 12PM to 3PM in the Student Center Courtyard.
SIGN UP HERE! Sign-Ups close on September 13th at 11:59 PM.
Important Dates
Review the Important Dates Calendar every semester for information for your RSO, it’s processes, and other Student Life dates and related information for the current and next academic semesters.
If information is incorrect or a date should be added, please let Student Life know.
Event Planning
Review the Event Planning Toolkit for information about any social or non-social events your RSO plans to hold. The Toolkit covers the RSO Events Policy, how to reserve a space on campus, timeline and security requirements, and much more! New RSOs will need to make a Virtual EMS account to be able to reserve space.
Additionally, an Event Planner Training will be available on Vector Solutions in Summer 2024. More information to come soon!
GivePulse and Volunteer/Philanthropy Information
UCA is utilizing GivePulse to track service hours and philanthropic donations. Each RSO has its own GivePulse page already! Keep your CubConnect Roster up to date as it keeps your GivePulse roster up to date. Review the Volunteer Opportunities webpage for questions about Service and Philanthropy.
Bank Accounts
The RSO President and Advisor Trainings covered bank account information, but you can review the info shared at any time on the Bank Accounts page.
New RSOs can choose which kind of account they want to have, and Student Life does not need to know which kind is being used. Please remember that tax information varies based on which kind of bank account you are utilizing. Information on completing taxes, should you choose off-campus, should be in any transition information for future executive boards.

RSO Need to Know
Throughout the year, Student Life will send out the RSO Need to Know to different members of each RSO. At the minimum, the President and Advisor will get the Need to Know. Occasionally, we will include Vice Presidents, Treasurers, and Secretaries.
