RSOs encompass a diverse array of purposes, each presenting unique levels of risk, individual needs, and financial responsibilities. To ensure optimal support for these organizations, a well-defined three-tier categorization system has been devised. This system catalysts continuous growth by providing tailored training programs that address the distinct needs of RSOs.

Tier-I Organizations:

Tier-I Student Organizations provide an opportunity for students to lead a group that is simple in nature. These RSOs have low-risk activities, are not eligible for funding support, and do not have events or participate in high-risk activities. Tier-I RSOs are permitted meeting space requests on campus and utilize Student Activities staff for general advisement.

Tier-II Organizations:

Tier-II Student Organizations are typically more complex in nature. These organizations may have meetings, participate in activities on and off campus, host or attend events or competitions, are eligible to receive funding support, and require a larger degree of structure and advisement.

Tier-III Organizations (Student Fee-Funded Organizations):

Tier-III Student Organizations are established by the University and are managed daily by students with oversight from the University. Tier-III organizations are supported by student fees with high visibility on campus, high accountability to a large constituency of students, moderate- to high-risk activities, regular interaction with university staff, and reliance on the University for funding, financial support, facilities, and event planning support.

The status of an RSO refers to their position within the University. An RSOs status may vary based on their registration process, conduct on campus, completion of required trainings, and more.

Active

Active organizations are considered to be in good standing. This means they have met all requirements as it relates to their respective tier. This includes registration and renewals, SOLID Trainings, and appropriate membership appointments. Active organizations are listed on UConntact, eligible for space, and may have access to student funding Banking Services, and advisement requests.

Frozen

Frozen organizations have not yet met all SOLID requirements and are not eligible for funding, space, UConntact, or other access to services. Please contact solid@uconn.edu for information related to your status.

Locked

Locked organizations are administratively suspended temporarily based on conduct or failure to complete requirements and lose access to all services. (i.e., gross misconduct or insubordination, misuse of logo and branding).

Inactive

Inactive organizations have been disbanded and are no longer registered with the University. Organizations that have not achieved an Active status after an academic semester may be subject to becoming ‘Inactive’.
