400

An RCO tells you:

“Our registration has been pending for a few days. Are we no longer an RCO?”

What should you tell them?

No. If they have submitted their registration and are pending approval, they can still function as a regular RCO. They should be patient while SEAL processes the registration.


400

An RCO tells you:

“We're having our normal weekly officer meeting. Do we need to attend Minor Events Committee?”

No. MEC attendance is required for applicable events, but general membership and officer meetings are excluded.

400

An officer says:

“I already completed #Gauchoback for another RCO, so I don't need to tell SEAL about this RCO.”

What should they do?

An officer can represent up to two RCOs when attending the workshops, but they need to state which RCOs they are representing.

400

You are auditing a deposit batch. The total on the report is $500, but the deposit ticket says $450.

What should you do?  

Note the discrepancy clearly on the report and do not sign it off as having no inconsistencies.

500

An RCO leader says, “I created a Shoreline event, but I don't understand why I'm being asked more questions about my event.”

They are being redirected to the 360 Event Planning Guide, which collects additional information to determine event needs such as MEC review, food permits, and other event requirements.

500

An RCO changes its constitution and uploads the new version to Shoreline immediately. Is the new constitution automatically the official version?

No. Revisions/amendments aren't valid until they are reviewed and approved by a University Advisor in SEAL.


500

An RCO wants to sell homemade cookies at a campus fundraiser. They say, “They're just cookies, so we don't need to worry about permits.”

Are they correct?

No. Food sales on campus generally require a SEAL Food Permit, including food prepared from raw ingredients. The organization needs to go through the appropriate event/360 process.

500

You're emailing an RCO about their required group advising meeting. What else should you check/remind them about at the same time?

Their mandatory RCO workshop requirements and current progress/deadlines.

500
