Expectations may vary based on the type of Registered Student Organization (RSO) and the
advisor. RSO and advisor expectations may also vary from year to year and person to person.
Advisors and student leaders should connect regularly to determine the appropriate expectations
that apply. Start by considering the following:
Level of Involvement
Be available to the officers and/or members of the RSO for advising and required signing of
documents.
Transition
Assist both the old and new student leadership in the yearly transition and provide historical
continuity.
Decision Making
Allow the student leadership to exercise primary decision-making authority with regard to
organization goals, objectives, and activities.
Goal Setting
Advisors should assist the organization in developing goals and planning projects or events. They
should make suggestions that will empower members of the organization to become better leaders.
Directions: The advisor and student leader should complete this form separately, and then meet to discuss their
answers. For any items that are determined not to be the responsibility of the advisor, it would be valuable to
clarify which officer will assume that task.
For each statement, respond according to the following scale: 1 = Essential for the advisor to do.
2 = Helpful if the advisor has involvement. 3= Nice, but the advisor does not have to do it.
4= Would prefer the advisor not do. 5 = Absolutely not an advisors role.
