Update Your Email Access and CONNECT Group
If your org will have new officers or a new advisor in spring, make sure to do the following before your outgoing officers leave.
1- Update your email access. To add or remove someone as a member and owner of your org's account, follow these instructions.
2- Update your CONNECT group. Make sure to remove anyone who is no longer an officer, and add all new officers and/or advisors. It's important to keep your CONNECT group up to date as this is considered your official roster and how the Involvement Center contacts the correct people.
Reserving Space for Spring Semester
If your org has not reserved space yet for next semester, make sure to do it now before spaces book up. Check out this webpage for more information on how to book different spaces on campus.
