RSOs and Community

Going live @ DU September 2011!

Community is a powerful management tool for student organizations, with a full array of features for students, staff, and faculty. Using Community, you have a simple way to interact with other students, advisors, and groups, manage your campus organization, and increase enrollment.

What can I do with Community if I am a student?

Students can create and personalize a profile, search for and join RSOs, browse the events calendar, and connect Community activities with their Facebook profile.  They can also interact with the RSOs that they have joined by commenting on blog posts and photos, and participating in polls.

What can I do with Community if I am an RSO?

RSOs can create and register their organization, maintain a personalized profile, submit paperwork, upload documents, post events, manage their budget, apply for funding, manage their roster and list of interested students, create polls/elections/surveys, recruit members, create a photo gallery, create a blog, and connect to their Facebook page.

What can I do with Community if I am an Advisor?

Advisors will have the same rights as an RSO Group Administrator.

What is a Registered Student Organization?

A Registered Student Organization (RSO) at Davenport University is any group consisting of students enrolled at Davenport University, and formed to contribute to those students’ educational growth, recreation, and/or career and professional development.  Most importantly, a RSO is REGISTERED with the Student Life office.

Why should I register my organization?

Registration of student groups is a privilege, and is not intended to restrict the free association of students.  Upon registering, student organizations gain several benefits including:

  • The use of University facilities and services for meetings and approved activities, when available.
  • The opportunity to apply for funding through the Student Life office for campus projects and programs.
  • The opportunity to conduct approved fund-raising projects.
  • The ability to post advertisements and flyers in Davenport University buildings in compliance with posting policy.
  • The opportunity to participate in student orientation events, welcome week activities and student organization leadership training.
