2. Leadership or executive board requirements

  • Maintain a president, vice president, and treasurer (included in 8-member minimum) at all times.
  • Ensure that your 2024-2025 executive board members are listed as officers in Ramsconnect prior to submitting re-registration.

Submitting Re-registration through Ramsconnect

2024-2025 organization presidents must register or re-register through RamsConnect for the upcoming academic year beginning May 1st. Here are the steps:

  • Log into Ramsconnect.vcu.edu
  • Using the search bar in RamsConnect, find your organization under "My Group". You might have to scroll down to find the organization. If your organization does not appear under "My Groups", then you do not have access. Check with the previous president and ask them to update the officer list in RamsConnect.
  • If your organization does not appear under "My Groups", then you do not have access. Check with the previous president and ask them to update the officer list in RamsConnect.
  • Once you have access, make updates to the mission, constitution and website.
  • Your 2024-2025 organization president can access registration directly through your RamsConnect page beginning on May 1, 2024. Once your executive board roster is updated in RamsConnect, your organization president will see a blue registration box where they can complete the re-registration process.
  • Update or enter the names of the treasurer and vice president, both of which are required. You can search by first name, last name, and email. If the name of the vice president or treasurer does not appear, then the individual has likely not created a RamsConnect account by logging in. The president should contact the individual and request that they log-in to RamsConnect. Once this is complete, the president can update the officer positions.
  • Once completed and approved, the registration box on your organization's page will disappear.
