Funding

Registered student organizations (RSOs) are funded in a variety of ways. The majority of groups on campus are funded by some combination of department funding (e.g. Chaplaincy, Recreation & Wellness), SOBAC funding, dues or participation fees, as well as fundraising. Fundraising, defined here, is when registered student organizations raise money amongst fellow students.
