Common Questions

How do I fill out an EAF for my club/organization?

Find your group's page on CampusGroups and go to "Money" and look at your accounting book. From there all of your transactions will appear. There will be a button on the right that says "Payment/Budget Request" that will take you to the EAF. Only group members who are officers and financially certified will be able to submit expense forms!

How can I create an event on my organization's CampusGroups page?

Student organization officers cannot create events as this bypasses the event registration process. You must create a reservation on reserve.rit.edu first for all on and off-campus events. Once your event has been reviewed and approved, it will then populate on your CampusGroups page under "Events".

Who can make space reservations and event requests for student organizations?

Only student group officers with EMS access can reserve rooms on campus, including those in the Campus Center, SAU, classrooms, and outdoor space. To make a reservation, go to reserve.rit.edu. Only five (5) members of your organization can have access to reserve space. If you need to change who has access, please fill out the EMS Access Form.

How do I submit a design approval or request to the Campus Life Marketing team?

How do I make an appointment to meet with a Campus Life Clubs team member?

How can officers get access to our organization's RIT email account?

Student officers listed on your "Officers" section on your CampusGroups page will be given access to your RIT organization email account. This will feed once a day. Please log into gmail.com with your RIT student Gmail account. When logged in, the top right corner should provide a link to switch between mailboxes.
