President or Treasurer have schedule conflicts with the Leadership Summit, please contact Leslie ([log in to unmask]) immediately.
Remember: if you do not attend the Leadership Summit, you will not have access to your budget for the 2013-2014 Academic Year. Contact Leslie with any schedule conflicts/concerns.
3. CSO – Fall Student Organization Registration Updates
From Josh Podvin
Student Leaders and Advisors:
Welcome back to Athens! I hope that you are ready for an exciting 2013-2014 academic year.
First and foremost, I would like to thank you all for your patience as we work to transition to a new registration & organization management system. I know that this transition has not been ideal
for all organizations; however, once the system is fully integrated I believe it will provide a great benefit to how you are able to manage your organizations.
As with any transition there tends to be some delays and our transition to this new software system has been no different. In order to accommodate organizations wishing to reserve space, fundraise,
and advertise during the 2013-2014 academic year the CSO has developed an interim update process that all student organizations will have to go through.
In order to be considered active for the 2013- 2014 academic year, organizations that were registered for 2012-2013 must send a representative from their organization to a Mandatory Information
Session (dates & times listed below, as well as on the CSO website). The information sessions will cover necessary policy updates, how to update organization information, and the new registration system
planned for the spring semester. If you are interested in starting a brand new student organization, please contact the Center for Student Organizations:

***Special Note***
All organizations may now begin to make reservation requests in facilities beyond the Tate Student Center and Memorial Hall (i.e. Miller Learning Center and Academic Buildings); however, it
is still expected that your organization will register by the priority deadline: September 13, 2013. Failure to register by September 13, 2013 will result in room reservation privileges being revoked.
If you have questions or concerns please email the CSO:
