Rule 6-401B: Student Organization Violations of Law or Policy

RSO Classifications

Each recognized student organization shall be classified as an organization that is either “sponsored”, “affiliated”, or “registered.” SLI determines this classification by assessing the student organization's relationship to the university, the scope of its activities, and the perceived potential risk to participants and the University.
