Dual Registration

Overview

In addition to registering with the Office for Student Organizations, Leadership & Involvement (SOLI), formerly CfLI, student organizations can also register with one of our dual registration partners. These partners are offices and departments across UW Madison’s campus that offer additional support and services to student organizations with similar goals.

About

Each dual-registration partner offers unique benefits and support for student organizations. Examples of these benefits may include space, grant opportunities, marketing resources, and networking opportunities.

Dual registration partners may have additional requirements to ensure student organizations are a good fit for affiliation. Each partner has specific eligibility requirements, benefits, and affiliation processes. For questions about specific dual registration partners, please reach out using the contact information provided below. For general questions about dual registration, reach out to alseitz@wisc.edu.

 

Advisor requirement update:

Dual registration meets the advisor requirement for student organizations. Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) that are dual affiliated fulfill the advisor requirement and do not need to find an additional advisor. However, some dual registration partners may still require organizations to have an advisor
