​Registration Steps Walkthrough
Step 1) Instructions
Please review the following Instructions:
Welcome! We are excited to have you returning as a RSO
We highly recommend that the President or another Senior Officer complete the process for your organization.  Please be aware that the person who begins this process is the only one who can complete it and will be responsible for the organization's submission.
When you are ready to begin, make sure you have the following elements ready:
  • Information for your organization's profile including purpose, contact information, meeting times, and adviser information.
  • Membership roster - You MUST use everyone's UofL email address.  You do need to include ALL members as this is used as your official roster on campus.  Please note that you are able to change the position titles to fit your organization as desired AFTER you are recognized. 
  • Your organization's constitution
  • The date, time and location for organization meetings
You are able to save and return to this at any time.  Once you are ready to submit the Recognition Application, be sure all information is correct and that you click "SUBMIT" at the end in order to submit this form. 
Step 2) Organization Profile
The Organization Profile step allows users to provide basic details and information about their organization, such as the organization description, contact information, and social media links. The Organization Profile step is required for every organization registration process and cannot be removed by campus administrators. The profile step is where any organization additional fields created by campus administrators will appear for users to complete.

Additional Information
We will also be asking additional information for all the groups to fill out for our purposes:
  • Where and when are your organization meetings held?
    • Write-In:
  • Are meetings open to all students?
    • Yes
    • No

Step 3) Organization Profile Picture
Organizations are also required to upload a profile photo to show in the organization directory and on their organization's page. The profile picture step is required for all organizations and cannot be removed by administrators. The image you select will automatically run through an image resizer, so the larger the better! Your profile photo will appear in a circular shape in the directory and on your organization page, so expect the edges of the photo to be cropped.
Step 4) Organization Roster
Here is where you upload the information about your officers.  There are specific positions I will need for you to assign to your members.
  • At least 1 Officer #1 who can make Reservations
    • Must be the president or the main leader of your organization
  • At least 1 Officer # 2 Who can make reservations
    • One other officer from your RSO who can make reservations for your RSO

    • If your advisor is on Engage you will be able to add them on your profile
  • At least 1 Financial Officer
    • Who is the person that oversees your financials and bank account
  • At least 1 President
    • Must be the leader of the organization.

Step 9) UofL Hazing Policy
UofL Hazing Policy
Required
As a member of the EngageUofL community, I understand that University of Louisville is NO PLACE FOR HAZING.  I have read the UofL Hazing Policy and understand my responsibility for the policy.
  • I have reviewed the policy at the link above.
  • I understand that hazing puts both myself and my organization at risk and I agree to comply with the policy and to report hazing of which I am aware.
  • I understand that hazing practices are not only harmful, but also have no place at UofL or in student organizations.
  • I will not allow myself to be hazed nor will I tolerate the hazing or harassment of any fellow members.
By checking this box, I understand the UofL policy.  I also understand that I am responsible for upholding the statements listed above.
RSO Registration allows you to be recognized by the university, receive university resources, and reserve space on campus. Existing student organizations must complete requirements for each year during the organizations registration window to maintain active status and other benefits. 
  • During this window you can re-register your organization’s portal on Engage, attend the Officer Orientation and request a bank letter.  Your registration window will correspond to when you stated your new officers are selected.
  • Please make sure all Officer elections/selections take place prior to your window closing date.  Any organization that does not complete this by the end of their window will be moved to Probationary status and your Engage portal will be Frozen. 
  • This will affect your ability to reserve space on campus and gain access to your bank accounts.  We do have measures for those groups who fall through the cracks but it would be in your best interest to make sure you meet the deadlines.
