CU Boulder students can start a new recognized student organization (RSO) by following the steps and policies outlined below.
But first, see if your organization already exists. You can browse organizations by category or search for specific words or phrases on BuffConnect, CU’s comprehensive student involvement database. If your idea isn’t already out there, we encourage you to start a new RSO.
