Welcome to the Registered Student Organization (RSO) Handbook

I hope you will take every opportunity to explore the many activities, programs, and services we have designed especially for RSO leaders.  The Center for Student Development is committed to assisting you in developing life-long skills that will enable you to reach your goals and aspirations in life.

This Wiki has replaced the RSO Manual and has been prepared for your use throughout the academic year. It will serve as a guide to you as you navigate through the UMass Amherst maze and prepare to elevate your organization to new heights. It is designed to increase your efficiency and productivity as you go about your daily tasks of managing your organizational resources. It will also provide you with contact information that will connect you to the many resources that are available to you as you move your organization forward. Feel free to follow up with your assigned advisor or with other staff associated with the Center   as you encounter challenges throughout the year. We have a committed staff that is student friendly and student driven.

Best wishes and we look forward to sharing in your success in the near future.
