Inactive status
If your organization's president fails to complete the annual registration, the student organization will become inactive. This means the organization will be removed from the registered student organization list and will have no rights as a registered student organization at UMKC.
If an organization is inactive for over a year, the organization will be disabled and considered dissolved. This will result in all organization funding being returned to the Student Activity Fee Committee.
Events
All registered student organizations are required to submit event requests to the Office of Student Involvement via RooGroups. Step-by-step information on how to request events is available on the Student Organization Events page. Please contact us with any questions.
Travel
University-sponsored travel, events or activities are those that are financially supported by student activity fees or other university financial resources. To ensure these are consistent with the mission of the university and that student safety issues have been addressed, UMKC-sponsored student travel and events must be approved in advance by us and an advisor.
Details and forms
Travel to university-sponsored activities is limited to UMKC students, faculty and staff, unless we authorize others in the University of Missouri System.
