As an RSO Advisor, carefully review all requests before approving. Always ask questions and ensure you understand the details before signing off.
Event Approvals
When an RSO submits an Event Planning & Registration (EPR), you’ll be added as a Reviewer in NvolveU. Discuss key considerations with the RSO to ensure success:
- Has the event been thoroughly planned?
- Do members support and engage with the event?
- Is the event inclusive? (See the RSO Advisors Resource Library for a checklist.)
- Are students aware of relevant policies and regulations?
- Are contracts required? (Advisors and officers cannot sign contracts—see Contracts for details.)
You don’t need to approve an event for it to move forward, but if you have concerns, leave a comment in the Discussion section of the EPR. SLICE will pause approval until the issue is resolved.
Financial Approvals
Advisors may need to sign off on Payment Requests to ensure compliance with Student Organization Financial Services (SOFS) policies. Email requests first go to the President OR Treasurer in NvolveU—either can approve, except when they are the one being reimbursed. Once approved by the student leader, the RSO Advisor receives an email request for final approval.
RSOs must register events with SLICE through the Event Planning & Registration (EPR) process for SOFS payments to be processed. Unregistered events may lack necessary tax forms, preventing payments. For payment-related inquiries, contact SOFS.
Space Reservations
All University space usage requires an approved Event Planning & Registration (EPR) in NvolveU. Reservation requirements vary by facility. For assistance, contact SLICE at involved@unl.edu or 402-472-2454.
