Student Organization Advisors
All RSOs must have an On-Campus Advisor who is affiliated with Cal State East Bay to provide the RSO with the necessary connection to the University. RSOs have the option to have an Off-Campus Advisor, however it is not required. SLIC Staff are available to work with and assist On/Off-Campus Advisors in clarifying and carrying out their responsibilities with the RSOs.
The Advisor's role is to assist RSOs in achieving their goals and objectives by being a liaison. The university expects Advisors to advise RSO members and officers of relevant state laws and University policies and to take reasonable action to enforce them. Therefore, the Advisor should be knowledgeable of University policies and procedures, including those outlined below.
Campus facility reservations for RSOs should be processed and reserved by SLIC on behalf of the RSO. If the location cannot be reserved by SLIC in 25Live (i.e. CORE or specific classrooms) then a confirmation email or the 25Live reservation number must be submitted to SLIC via BaySync by the RSO. If a department is hosting the event, and the student organization is using AS funds to support, the event must be submitted in BaySync for items purchased. Student organization funds should only be used by the students as faculty/staff have a different reimbursement process.
