RSO Event Planning

Follow the steps below to determine the required forms and approvals for your event, or view the RSO Event Planning Flow Chart for a visual overview of the process.
- Ensure all pre-approvals are obtained before any expenses are incurred.

- Promotional items that include any CSU logo or brands must be procured through one of the approved licensed vendors. The preferred vendor is Club Colors.
- Renting a space in the University Student Center is considered a purchase if there is any balance to be paid out of the Club TC account.
