Our purpose

The Student Organization Resource Center (SORC) is a source for your student involvement needs including:

  • assisting students with finding an organization to join.
  • applying to become a new organization.
  • providing assistance and support to existing organizations.
In addition, we are here to assist student groups in spending their SGA allocated funds.  Visit the SORC to figure out how to pay for your events and programs.  We are here to assist student groups and answer questions that you may have about the spending process. 

ORGSYNC

This spring, the Stamp launched OrgSync, a new software program that will replace STARS for registering and managing student organizations.  The transition will be on-going throughout the spring semester.

EXISTING ORGANIZATIONS - Groups who were active in STARS at the beginning of the spring semester were transitioned into OrgSync.  All active organizations will be required to submit a registration renewal by May 17, 2013 to keep their active RSO status with the university.

  • To locate your organization in OrgSync go to orgsync.umd.edu.  Click on the "OrgSync Login" link in the top-left of the screen.  
  • Login using your university ID and password.
  • Click on the green "Browse Organizations" link.
  • Locate your organization and click on the group name.
  • To submit a registration renewal, click on the "Settings" link on the left-side of the page.
  • Review and make any necessary changes to your Profile.  Click "Next".
  • Review and make any necessary changes to the existing information.
  • Due to the large number of existing organizations, review of your application can take up to 4-6 weeks.  However, groups will still be considered active and compliant with RSO and SGA (if applicable) criteria during this time.

NEW ORGANIZATIONS - Prior to submitting an application to register your organization, please be sure to review the Guidelines for Registered Student Organizations link on the left.
