students at be involved fair

All recognized student organizations (RSOs) and recognized social Greek organizations (RSGOs) are required annually to re-register their organization with the Center for Student Involvement – it’s how we know you are still up and running.

  • Registration begins annually on July 1. 
  • The priority deadline for re-registering for the year is September 30. 
    • Any organization who misses this deadline may be placed in bad standing and lose any room reservations they currently hold.
    • If you miss this deadline, you can still re-register your organization throughout the year by following the Annual Registration steps listed below. Just be aware that it may impact your access and reservations across campus until you complete the process.  Email studentorganizations@colorado.edu to request and extension and learn about your next steps.
  • The final Annual RSO Training of the year will be on Thursday, March 7.
    • Organizations who attend this final training date can expect their paperwork to be processed by the end of day on Friday, March 8.  If you do not have all steps completed by this date, you will need to restart the process after July 1.

  Are you a Recognized Social Greek Organization (RSGO)? Multicultural Greek and National Panhellenic Organizations must complete re-registration by September 30. Panhellenic and CU Interfraternity Council organizations must complete re-registration by March 8.

To keep it simple, you’ll need to complete the following three steps:

1. Initiate your re-registration on BuffConnect

Current (or pending) organization administrators will be able to:

  • Log into BuffConnect
  • Select “Clubs & Organizations” from the left-hand menu bar.
  • Search for your specific RSO/RSGO.
  • Click the blue “+ Group Re-Registration” button that appears next to the organization name. If you do not see this button it most likely means that another leader for your organization has submitted the form. 

If you have concerns, please email studentorganizations@colorado.edu and we can let you know your status.​

2. Attend an Annual RSO training

Managing an RSO carries a great deal of responsibility, requiring skills and knowledge to succeed. Know CSI is here for your success, thus our training covers everything you need to know about managing your RSO, such as resources and benefits, funding and university policies/procedures. It is also a great way to ask questions while getting to know other student leaders.

Each RSO is required to attend one annual RSO training. Trainings are offered virtually. Only one member from the organization is required to attend, but we encourage you to send members who serve in officer/leadership roles (and haven't attended the training previously) to represent the group.

  • You cannot attend on behalf of more than one student organization.
  • You are not expected to prepare for this training.
  • RSVP is required and registrations must be received within 24 hours prior to the training date.
  • You will need to be a current Organization Administrator (or in process) to RSVP for these events.
Listing of Trainings
Once you have access to BuffConnect and have completed Step 1 above, you will see the Annual RSO Trainings listed in the event calendar of BuffConnect. The organization administrator who submitted the re-registration form in Step 1 should RSVP for a training.

 

3. CSI Processes your information

After your organization submits your re-registration form within BuffConnect and at least one representative attends an Annual RSO Training on behalf of your organization – there is no further action needed from you! CSI will process any email password changes, add/remove your organization administrator updates and ensure you have the correct access levels within BuffConnect.

You can check the status of your re-registration at any point by logging in to BuffConnect and opening the left-hand menu and navigating to MY ACTIVITY > MY SURVEYS & FORMS.

  Ensure you’ve completed these requirements prior to Sept. 30. Questions? Contact CSI for help.
