RSO Re-registration 2025 is Open

Hello RSO Leaders,

RSO Re-registration is now open!

To complete your re-registration:

  1. All required officers and advisors must complete the training course on Canvas.
  2. The president must fill out the re-registration form on Involvement Link. Instructions for filling out the form.

If you are no longer an RSO officer, please communicate with your RSO’s president to submit an E-Board Position Update Form to notify us of any changes.

Everyone should have been added to the new Canvas training course. If you were not added, please reach out to rso@mtu.edu. Everyone must complete the training during the re-registration process; even if you have completed the training before. If you hold more than one officer position, you must only complete the training once. If you have additional officers you would like to add to the officer training, they can use this link to sign up for the course: https://mtu.instructure.com/enroll/R7RJ87

All officer training and the re-registration form must be completed by September 22, 2025 by 8:00 AM. Failure to complete your training on time will result in a decrease in your organization’s budget for this academic year and potential loss of privileges granted to registered groups. Please see the schedule below

  • You will receive 100% of your allocation if registered by 09/22/25.
  • You will receive 90% of your allocation if registered by 09/26/24.
  • You will receive 75% of your allocation if registered by 10/3//24.
  • You will receive 0% of your allocation if registering after 10/10/24.

You can monitor the progress of your re-registration status on our Re-registration Google Sheet. This document is updated periodically. If your RSO has a red box in one of the officer positions, that means that we do not have an officer listed for your group. You will need to fill that position before your re-registration can be completed.

As promised, our RSO Manual is live. This is our first draft so any feedback would be welcome. The document covers most things that could come up while leading an RSO, if you run into common things that are not addressed in the manual, please reach out so we can update it.

If you have any questions or concerns about the RSO registration process, training, or updating the RSO’s officer roster, please email Student Leadership and Involvement at RSO@mtu.edu, stop by the office in MUB 112, or call us at 906-487-1963.

Have a great day,

Student Leadership and Involvement

RSO Officer and Advisor Email. Important Re-registration Information!

Hello,

We hope you’ve had a fantastic summer. As the new academic year approaches, we want to make sure you are ready to hit the ground running!

RSO Re-Registration and Training

Every year, Registered Student Organizations are required to re-register their organization to maintain their registered status. Re-registration opens August 4th at 9:00 AM. Required officers (President, Treasurer, Secretary, and Advisor) must complete the training on Canvas. Your organization’s president must also complete the re-registration form on Involvement Link. All officer training and the re-registration form must be completed by September 22, 2025, by 8:00 AM. Failure to complete your training on time will result in a decrease in your organization’s budget for this academic year and a potential loss of privileges granted to registered groups. Please see the schedule below:

  • You will receive 100% of your allocation if registered by 09/22/25.
  • You will receive 90% of your allocation if registered by 09/26/25.
  • You will receive 75% of your allocation if registered by 10/3/25.
  • You will receive 0% of your allocation if registered after 10/10/25.

Please note: All officers and advisors will be removed from the Canvas training before Re-registration, so the training can be updated and old officers removed. All current officers and advisors will be re-added to the new training at the beginning of re-registration. Every officer and advisor must complete the training every year during Re-registration.

Update Officers on Involvement Link

As we approach RSO Re-registration, it’s crucial to update your organization’s officers on Involvement Link. If the officers or advisors are not accurate on Involvement Link, the wrong people will get your re-registration information and training. To update your officers or advisors on Involvement link, presidents are required to fill out our E-Board Position Update Form.

Please note: Only required officers (President, Treasurer, Secretary, Advisor) need to be added through the form. Organization-created positions can be updated directly on Involvement Link.

K-Day Registration

K-Day registration is still open! At this time we have just over 160 organizations registered with an event capacity of around ~200. The deadline to register for K-Day is August 29th at noon. We fully anticipate all 200 spots to be filled, so do not delay – register today! K-Day will be held on September 5th from 1:00-5:00 PM at Chassell Centennial Park.

RSO Tax Updates

Student Leadership and Involvement has been working with USG to approve money for a tax professional to help RSOs reach non-profit status and file taxes with the IRS. This is a multi-year process, so not everyone will be able to work with the tax professional right away. SLI is creating a structure for what year your RSO will be able to work with the tax professional. We will send you more information as we finalize the process. 

RSO Manual

Student Leadership and Involvement has created a manual to help you run a student organization. The manual will be shared with RSO officers and advisors and added to the SLI website at the beginning of re-registration. It is a long document and not meant to be read straight through. It is designed for you to use the search function to look for particular topics. It is a compilation of resources from the SLI website, MTU policies, state and national guidelines, and best practices. We hope it will be useful for you as you lead your RSO. If there is a topic you would like to see added to the manual, please email us at rso@mtu.edu.  

Put Events on Involvement Link

We recommend that any RSO that is hosting an event list their event on Involvement Link. Any events posted on Involvement Link get added to the MTU Calendar automatically. This is particularly important if you are hosting an event within the first couple of weeks of school. Many of the incoming students will see your event posted on the MTU Calendar. This can greatly increase your event participation.

If you have any questions or need additional support, don’t hesitate to reach out to us!

Have a great summer,

Student Leadership and Involvement
