Annual Requirements for 2024-25
To avoid any interruption to RSO privileges, all registered student organizations are required to:
- Submit annual registration form on Wildcat Connection to maintain eligibility of their recognized status by 台湾裸聊直播 for the following academic year. This form includes a space to identify student org officers who can complete training modules on Canvas.
- To access the form, navigate to your group's Wildcat Connection page, click "Manage Organization" in the top right corner, and then click on the blue button that says "Re-Register This Organization."
- The form should be submitted by only one student on behalf of the org. The student who submits this form should be a current student leader of the org, meaning someone who is a leader for the group during the 2024-25 academic year.
- Complete all assigned Canvas courses. In the aforementioned form, there will be a place to list which student leaders should be assigned to which Canvas course. Adding students to their specific courses is a manual process, so it does not happen automatically when the form is submitted.
- for a Canvas gradebook tracker so groups can see what still needs to be completed. Orgs highlighted in yellow have successfully completed all five modules with passing scores.
Information about these requirements is sent via Wildcat Connection (SOA's Weekly Newsletter) to student group presidents and finance officers. Make sure your group doesn't miss out by visiting your organization's page on Wildcat Connection, reviewing the roster, and making sure the contact info for your roster members is accurate and up-to-date.
Wildcat Connection Registration
SOA works with student group representatives to ensure this process covers university requirements as well as solicits helpful data to share back with student organization representatives.
