To remain in good standing within the GVSU Student Organization Community

Registered Student Organizations (RSO's) must complete the following to remain in good standing with GVSU:

• Attend the annual officer training each semester (Ignite and ReIgnite)
  • Ignite and Re-Ignite are the official training and resource programs for officers and executive boards of student organizations that occur twice a year (Fall and Winter semester). ALL student organizations are REQUIRED to have at least one executive officer participate in both Ignite (Fall) and Re-Ignite (Winter), but are strongly encouraged to have all 4 officers participate in the training. Policies and procedures, funding, LakerLink, and other important details pertinent to student organizations are covered at this event.
• Complete the bi-annual registration on LakerLink
  • Every Registered Student Organization is required to renew their organization for each Fall and Winter semester with updated information and Executive Board positions. If you do not renew your organization you may lose the privileges associated with being an RSO including funding, room reservations, and hosting events.

If an organization does not complete the above, they are considered frozen and are unable to reserve space, apply for university funding, or post events on LakerLink until they complete the required items.
