  • RSO's are expected to choose one of the three options on their RSO application:
    • Option 1 : On-Campus A.S. Banking Account
    • Option 2 : National Organization Exemption Request
    • Option 3 : No Banking Exemption Request
  • RSO's that select On-Campus banking must submit an Account Application & Agreement form each academic year.
