What does "affiliation with an off-campus organization" mean?
Some student organization are campus chapters of an off-campus organization. The University of Washington does not prevent campus
chapters from following policies and procedures recommended by off-campus
organizations. However, the off-campus affiliated organization cannot
interfere with campus policies and must respect the decision-making ability
of the campus organization chapter. A copy of the affiliated off-campus
organization constitution must be submitted when an RSO registers with the SAO.

on behalf of the organization, they need to be listed as officers with the
SAO. It is the responsibility of any RSO to notify the SAO
when officers change.
What are the benefits and resources available to our group after we register?
