Keep Your WUGO Page Updated |
|

Here’s your checklist to kickoff the spring semester right:
|
|
|
-
Update Your Rosters
All rosters must be 100% up to date in WUGO before the new semester begins. Accurate rosters = smooth officer transitions, compliance with policies and event approvals.
-
Register All Events
Yes, that means meetings, practices, tryouts, trips, volunteer work, socials—everything! Events must be registered in WUGO at least 14 days prior.
Why wait? If you know the dates now, submit them through the end of the spring semester. You can always edit or cancel later.
- Check SU Treasury Updates
Get caught up on all things funding and programming. Visit the SU Website for the latest updates and resources.
