Re-Registration Information

What is a Registered Student Organization?

Consists of a group of students who represent a community of students whether it be by their shared interests, culture, identity, or ideals. These organizations follow the requirements set forth by the Student Government Association Statutes and have access to SGA funding.

What do you need to be considered a Registered Student Organization?

  1. Student Membership.
  2. Governance Structure.
  3. Student Self-Governance.
  4. Umbrella Organizations”/”Stacking” Prohibited.
  5. RSOs must be open to all MSU students and may not charge dues.

These are few of the requirements that will make an organization eligible under the Student Government Association. For more information refer to Section 5 Article A or reach out to our President Pro-Tempore.

All RSOs are required to renew their registration on an annual basis; the registration period generally runs throughout the school year, but organizations that fail to renew their registration shall not have access to SGA funding or MSU Meeting Room Reservations until their annual registration is completed.
  5. Restarting an inactive RSO. RSOs that do not annually renew their registration will be marked as inactive.
