RSO Name and Profile Change Requests 

Change requests can be made at any time during the academic year. If the change significantly alters the original description and purpose of the RSO, the group may instead be asked to create a new Registered Student Organization utilizing the new name and description. 

Requests may be submitted at any time, however SAO will only be reviewing submissions Weeks 7-10 of Winter and Spring Quarters.
