• Student Organization registration

  With over 500 organizations covering 50 different categories it is rare to not find something that peaks a student's interest. However, you can start your own Registered Student Organizations (RSO) using Get Involved. RSOs only require at least two currently registered WSU students to be recognized.

  Register your student organization

  All student organizations are required to re-register their organization every academic year. Re-registration will begin August 5, 2019 for the 2019-20 academic year.

  1. Log in to Get Involved
  2. Click "Organizations"
  3. Click "Register an Organization"
  4. To re-register: Select "Manage" from the waffle menu in the upper right of your screen. Select the organization you would like to re-register. On the following page you will see a blue box that says "Re-register This Organization", then complete the form. Please review how to change your roster if you had a change in presidents before re-registering your organization.
     To register a new organization: Click the organizations tab. On the left-hand side click "Register and Organization" then click "Register a New Organization". Please make sure to select "Student Organizations"
  5. Follow all prompts and carefully read instructions before submitting
  6. All requests are reviewed by the Dean of Students Office within 3-5 business days

  Benefits of being a RSO

  1. RSOs have access to reserve space in the Student Center and other university spaces for free or at a discounted RSO price
  2. Can apply for SAFB Funding
  3. Participation in various campus events (Festifall, Student Organization Day, Winterfest).

  Classroom spaces

  Classroom spaces are reserved using the event submission in Get Involved. The Dean of Students Office will assist in reserving classroom spaces once the submission is completed.

  Creating a New Event in your Organization

  Please contact 313-577-1010 or dosofrontdesk@wayne.edu with any questions.

  Student Center Administration (SCA) spaces

  Please use the EMS WebApp to make your reservation. If your student organization does not appear in EMS as an option for you, you will need to go to SCA (011 Student Center) or call at 313-588-4585 set it up. The student booking the space must be on a roster of a Registered Student Organization to reserve the space.

  List of reservable spaces

  Questions, please contact screservations@wayne.edu or 313-577-4585.

  University Library System spaces

  To reserve space in one of the University Libraries, please use the Library Space Reservation Form.

  Library Space Reservation Policies and Reservable Spaces

  Questions should be directed to Marilyn Weiss (ab6947@wayne.edu), Nancy Swenskowski (dx1451@wayne.edu), and Matthew Wisotsky (aj3401@wayne.edu). 

  Create an event for SCA and Library spaces in Get Involved

  Registered student organizations may create an event in Get Involved for events in SCA and Libraries spaces. Follow the same steps you would for classroom spaces, then when prompted, select “Create an event” instead of “Reserve classroom space”. The Dean of Students will approve the event without review. This DOES NOT confirm the space.

  Why do this? You will have access to:

  • Attendance tracking using the Event Pass
  • Have the ability to promote your event in the Get Involved newsletter
• Food policies
