RSO Adviser Handbook

The Registered Student Organization (RSO) Adviser Handbook is reviewed and updated annually by the Office of Spartan Experiences, a unit of the Department of Student Development and Leadership (SDL) within the Division of Student Affairs. The purpose of this document is to assist staff and faculty who have volunteered to advise one of Michigan State University’s Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) in operational functions including but not limited to topics such as finances, registering, hosting events, and running meetings.

This handbook is designed with two functions in mind: first and foremost, this document is designed to be a guide for new advisers as they begin their role as an RSO Adviser. Secondly, this document is designed as a refresher for advisers that have already familiarized themselves with the responsibilities of an RSO Adviser.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call, or visit the RSO Office within the Office of Spartan Experiences:
