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
