Currently registered student groups who need assistance with their student group University email account may have an officer (as listed on GopherLink) contact Technology Help (opens in a new tab) at 612-301-4357 or in-person at one of their on-campus locations.
When student groups consider available resources on campus, it is often limited to funding. Student groups actually have access to various resources on campus.
Those resources include:
- Student Group Resources
- Student Group Advising
- Student Group Record Keeping
- Student Group Technology & Internet Accounts
- Second Floor Services
- Printing Services
- Reservable Spaces
- Lockers
- Digital Displays
- Student Group Communications
Student Group Advising¶
Groups often seek advising on a range of topics, including financial management and tax information, funding, elections, constitutions, event planning, organizational concerns, and more. Student groups can meet virtually or in person with a Student Activities Advisor between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. If a student needs to meet with an advisor outside those times, they can contact sao@umn.edu to schedule an appointment in the evening.
Groups should meet with their assigned Student Activities Advisor when scheduling meetings about general group operations, leadership, registration questions, finances and funding, tax information, and more. This creates consistency so your group meets with someone who has knowledge about your group's operations. To see your group's assigned Student Activities Advisor, view your GopherLink page, or this Google sheet.
- My group's assigned Student Activities Advisor is Marisol Rosado-Carrisalez: z.umn.edu/marisolrosadocarrisalez
- My group's assigned Student Activities Advisor is Nate Duncan: z.umn.edu/nateduncan
- My group's assigned Student Activities Advisor is Ria Sweeney: z.umn.edu/riasweeney
For general questions about GopherLink or about Annual Student Group Registration, you can email gopherlink@umn.edu.
For groups interested in advising related to planning and executing events, use the advising link below:
- For event advising (virtual and in-person): z.umn.edu/sgeventadvising
For students who are interested in learning more about getting involved in student groups, contact sao@umn.edu.
Student Group Records¶
Once a student group officially registers via GopherLink with the University of Minnesota, Student Unions & Activities maintains an official file/record for the group. Some contents of this file are considered a matter of public record, specifically any information pertaining to the group’s registration, constitution, classification or status.
Student Activities maintains paper files for registered student groups who registered prior to the 2015-2016 academic year. All student groups who have registered since we transitioned to an online platform should utilize GopherLink to manage their group’s file. Each groups’ file contains registration information from each annual registration period within the group’s history, Officer Declaration Forms and Constitutions.
GopherLink provides the platform to record event history and promotion, membership lists or complete officer listings if transition occurred throughout the registration year. We encourage your group to maintain its own archives and history records via an online storage system. We suggest you save information about the mission and purpose of your group, meeting agendas, meeting minutes, annual and notable events, leadership retreats, finances and full listings of officers and members.
If your student group’s has a paper file in Student Activities Office and would like to review your file, please submit a Request for Student Group Documents.
To update your student group’s electronic record, please complete the Student Group Profile Updates Form.
Submitting Materials to the University Archives
As a student group, you will have an almost entirely new member base every four years. The University Archives are one way to preserve the history of your organization and keep a record of all of your hard work even after all current members of your group have left the University.
The materials found in the University Archives may be one of the only sources through which future students and/or researchers will be able to understand the history of your student group.
Registered student groups can submit all sorts of materials to the archives, including:
Administrative Records
- Annual and other reports
- Budgets and financial summary documents
- Charters and by-laws
- Correspondence
- Directories or lists of officers and members
- Mission statements
- Meeting minutes
Marketing Materials and Publications
- Posters, flyers, announcements, or programs
- Newsletters, newspapers, brochures, or books by or about the organization
- Scrapbooks
- Websites (URL must contain umn.edu or be domain owned by the University)
Photos, film and videos in all formats documenting University activities, functions, facilities, and its faculty, staff and students. Must be identified in some way (such as dates, names, or captions).
University Digital Conservancy
The University Digital Conservancy program is the “digital arm” of the University Archives and provides access to digital scholarly, administrative, and organizational records of the University of Minnesota. Student groups are welcome to upload content that is created digitally in order to preserve it and make it broadly available. Meeting minutes, reports, and newsletters are some types of material to consider preserving digitally.
Example: Hmong Minnesota Student Association (HMSA) http://conservancy.umn.edu/handle/126524
Get started by contacting the University Archives at uar@umn.edu or 612-624-0562. You can also learn more about transferring materials to the University Archives.
You will be asked a few questions about your files that will save you some time in advance. In certain cases, a staff member can make a site visit to assess your records.

University Student Access to Software Licensing
OIT licenses a variety of software and offers them at no additional cost and/or discounted prices to students. Students can order software by going to the OIT Software Purchasing Website.
Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) have access to these offers indirectly because every University of Minnesota student has access to these offers from OIT. The RSO as an entity does not have access to these offers because the group as an entity is separate from the University of Minnesota. Student groups classified as Campus Life Programs (CLPs) have access to software licensing offers via the sponsoring University Department. CLPs should work with their listed University Advisor on acquiring UTools Software and Enterprise-licensed software (including Mac OSX, Microsoft Windows and Office) at University Departmental rates.

Student Group Mailing Address¶
In an effort to be sustainable, groups should operate paperlessly, but sometimes groups will need to receive mail. When setting up a mailing address groups have a few options that are outlined below.
Use a Personal or Group Office Mailing Address
Groups can use the personal address of an officer as their mailing address. This address should be updated every year when the group transitions officers. Similarly, groups with office space off-campus may use their office address for their mailing address.
Rent a PO Box
PO Boxes (opens in a new tab) are locking mailboxes that are available to rent in most post offices. They are an excellent choice for groups who receive a lot of mail and have money that they can spend on a PO Box.
Use a Departmental Address
Registered student groups who are associated with a department may be able to use the department’s address as the group’s mailing address. Groups should contact their department for more information.
Event Related Packages Can Be Sent To Student Activities
Groups who need to receive packages related to events can use the Student Activities Office as the mailing address for those packages. Packages sent to the Student Activities Office must be claimed within two weeks of their delivery or they will be returned to the sender. Contact sao@umn.edu for more information.

Reservable Spaces¶
Second Floor Meeting Spaces
There are five meeting spaces located on the second floor of Coffman Memorial Union available for exclusive use by student groups. The spaces offer a variety of technologies to enhance student group collaboration.
Space that has not been reserved in advance may be claimed by any registered students on a first-come, first-served basis.
Multi-Use Space North (CMU 205): Student Group Reservation Policies
The use of Student Unions & Activities (SUA) facilities must be in accord with SUA House Policies and Event Policies, specifically the General Facility use section.
Reservation Process Guidelines
Currently registered student groups in good standing with SUA may reserve space. Listed officers of registered student groups are permitted to make reservations for SUA venues. The listed officer of the group may designate their members to reserve meeting space on the Second Floor.
More information about reservations in the student unions can be found at https://sua.umn.edu/reserve-space/event-services-faq.
Use of Space Guidelines
Rooms 205A, 205C, 205D, 205F and 205G are reservable by student groups in accordance with reservation process policies and are referred to as “reservable meeting space” within these policies.
The remaining spaces in CMU 205 (known as Multi-Use Space North) are not reservable. They are to remain open to student groups for meeting use as needed on a first-come, first-served basis.
To avoid a student group monopolizing space:
- Each group is allowed to reserve Second Floor meeting space up to five hours per week.
- Series reservations (i.e. weekly or monthly recurring reservations) are not allowed. Student groups are encouraged to reserve meeting space on Coffman’s Third Floor for recurring meeting reservations via Reservations Day.
- Student groups may reserve multiple rooms simultaneously provided they are within their weekly five-hour allotment. For example, a student group can reserve all five meeting rooms at the same time for one hour each.
- Meeting rooms may not be reserved more than two weeks in advance.
Second-floor reservable meeting space that has not been reserved may be claimed by any registered student on a first-come, first-served basis.
An electronic display outside each room shows the day’s reservations. Groups may also check availability with the second-floor staff located in the Multi-Use Space South.
Managing Access to Group-Designated Space
Each group can have two individuals who can manage an access list for their Designated space. The President or Chair of the group will automatically receive access through their U of M email account to the Student Group Access List Google site.
The President/Chair may designate one additional individual to assist with access updates, and only these individuals may add and remove members from the card swipe locks by submitting an access request form via the Student Group Access List Google site.
Should a group member with valid access not have their U Card with them they will be able to have the space opened by showing a photo ID at the 2nd floor Services Desk or the Coffman Information Desk on the 1st floor.
Ten (10) cabinet keys can be issued to each group’s built in cabinets. Keys are issued only to individuals. Keys can be also be requested via the Student Group Access List Google site.
Lost or damaged keys are subject to a $10 replacement fee. Keys must be turned in to Beth Galatis at the Coffman Information Desk when they are no longer needed and cannot be transferred from one individual to another.
For more information about how the SUA Board of Governors allocates space, visit their website (LINK).
Second Floor Kitchen
The second floor kitchen is to be used by currently registered student groups only. The kitchen is available for use during regular building hours only. The kitchen is classified as a residential kitchen, not a commercial kitchen. Therefore, only food for individual consumption or for small private meetings can be prepared in the kitchen. It is not to be used to prepare food for large private events or public events/meetings. All use of the kitchen must be in compliance with the University of Minnesota Department of Environmental Health and Safety (DEHS).
Policy and Procedures
Access:
- The kitchen is available on a first come, first served basis.
- The kitchen is designed so that two groups may use the space concurrently.
- The kitchen is to remain locked at all times for safety and security reasons.
- For student groups with office space on the second floor of Coffman, the same students granted card swipe access to office space will also have access to the kitchen.
- Student groups without office space on the second floor of Coffman have two options for accessing the space:
- Officers who plan to use the kitchen regularly can be granted card swipe access. Officers should contact Hubert Browne at brown090@umn.edu to set up a brief meeting where access will be granted.
- Any officer without card swipe access can go to the Information Desk, present a driver’s license or U Card, and request access to the kitchen. A SUA staff person will unlock the kitchen for the officer.
- Only student group officers listed on the SUA website will be granted access.
- Card swipe access must be renewed each year.
Use:
- Do not cook food directly on the stove tops.
- When cooking or baking, exhaust hood must be used at all times.
Cleaning:
- SUA custodial staff will clean the kitchen floors and empty the trash on a daily basis.
- Each student group is responsible for cleaning the kitchen after they use it. Student Activities will provide cleaning supplies (consisting of dish soap, dish rags, and paper towels). The student group is responsible for cleaning all countertops and appliance surfaces.
- SUA will not provide dishes or cooking utensils. All dishes and cooking utensils must be provided by each individual student group. Washing of dishes and utensils is also the responsibility of each individual student group.
- Dirty dishes and dirty cooking utensils left in the kitchen at the end of the day will be disposed. Clean dishes left in the dishwasher will be put the “lost and found” at the Information Desk.
- Instructions for the dishwasher are posted in the kitchen. Please follow these instructions carefully and note that the dishwasher does not use soap. It uses scalding hot water to clean the dishes.
- There is a sign posted next to each refrigerator with “throw out” days listed as every other Monday. At the end of these days, SUA deep-night custodial staff will throw away all items in the refrigerator.
- SUA is not responsible for lost items such as dishes, Tupperware, etc.
Loss of Privileges and Damages:
- Failure to adhere to the above policy may result in the offending person and/or student group losing kitchen access privileges or the student group being placed on probation.
- Any damages to the kitchen will be charged to the student organization that caused the damage.
- The student group may incur charges for custodial services required above and beyond normal cleaning as a result of their use of the kitchen.
Lockers
Multi-Use Space South (CMU 203): Student Group Locker/Storage Reservation Policies
The use of Student Unions & Activities (SUA) facilities must be in accord with SUA Event Services Policies, specifically the Reservations - General Facility Use section.
Locker Reservation Guidelines
Registered student groups in good standing with Student Unions and Activities may reserve space. Only listed officers are permitted to make reservations for SUA venues, though a listed officer may also designate student group members to reserve space on the second floor.
Reservations for second floor spaces, lockers and equipment are handled via the Student Activities Front Desk Manager. Email sao@umn.edu with your Student Group Name and ID# to reserve.
Storage space is available for student groups who are currently registered and in good standing with Student Unions and Activities with the exception of those groups who have designated space. Reservable lockers come in three sizes:
Large: Lockers 1-4
14” wide x 73.5” high x 31” deep
Small: Lockers 5-20
14” wide x 17.5” high x 31” deep
Medium: Lockers 21-29
39.5” wide x 24” high x 31” deep
Reservations
Lockers may be reserved for one or two semesters within an academic year. Groups are only allowed one locker reservation at a time, so will need to adjust an existing reservation if they would like to change the length of that reservation.
Lockers may not be reserved beyond the academic year, and reservations open up annually to all registered student groups on a first-come, first served basis on Reservations Day.
Other Locker Rental Options for Campus
Lockers are also available for rental for a semester or academic year elsewhere on the East Bank and West Bank. Please see the Locker FAQ for more details or fill out a locker reservation form.
If you have questions regarding student group funding options for operational expenses such as locker rental, please contact Student Services Fees at scarvell@umn.edu.
Digital Displays
Displays are available in the main area of Multi-Use Space North (CMU 205) and within each reservable meeting space. Each display is set up for screen sharing via HDMI, VGA, or wirelessly through Apple TV’s AirPlay. Information is posted next to each display to help you learn how to connect wirelessly from your mobile device (i.e. iPhone/iPad/iTouch/Mac) or connect your device directly using a cable.
Meeting rooms in 205 C/D include the ability to connect up to six devices to share and toggle between mobile device displays.
Screen Share via AirPlay on Apple TV

Lockers
Multi-Use Space South (CMU 203): Student Group Locker/Storage Reservation Policies
The use of Student Unions & Activities (SUA) facilities must be in accord with SUA Event Services Policies, specifically the Reservations - General Facility Use section.
Locker Reservation Guidelines
Registered student groups in good standing with Student Unions and Activities may reserve space. Only listed officers are permitted to make reservations for SUA venues, though a listed officer may also designate student group members to reserve space on the second floor.
Reservations for second floor spaces, lockers and equipment are handled via the Student Activities Front Desk Manager. Email sao@umn.edu with your Student Group Name and ID# to reserve.
Storage space is available for student groups who are currently registered and in good standing with Student Unions and Activities with the exception of those groups who have designated space. Reservable lockers come in three sizes:
Large: Lockers 1-4
14” wide x 73.5” high x 31” deep
Small: Lockers 5-20
14” wide x 17.5” high x 31” deep
Medium: Lockers 21-29
39.5” wide x 24” high x 31” deep
Reservations
Lockers may be reserved for one or two semesters within an academic year. Groups are only allowed one locker reservation at a time, so will need to adjust an existing reservation if they would like to change the length of that reservation.
Lockers may not be reserved beyond the academic year, and reservations open up annually to all registered student groups on a first-come, first served basis on Reservations Day.
Other Locker Rental Options for Campus
Lockers are also available for rental for a semester or academic year elsewhere on the East Bank and West Bank. Please see the Locker FAQ for more details or fill out a locker reservation form.
If you have questions regarding student group funding options for operational expenses such as locker rental, please contact Student Services Fees at scarvell@umn.edu.
Digital Displays
Displays are available in the main area of Multi-Use Space North (CMU 205) and within each reservable meeting space. Each display is set up for screen sharing via HDMI, VGA, or wirelessly through Apple TV’s AirPlay. Information is posted next to each display to help you learn how to connect wirelessly from your mobile device (i.e. iPhone/iPad/iTouch/Mac) or connect your device directly using a cable.
Meeting rooms in 205 C/D include the ability to connect up to six devices to share and toggle between mobile device displays.
Screen Share via AirPlay on Apple TV
Due to the wide number of mobile devices and generational differences, if you haven’t accessed AirPlay on your device before, please see the resources below.

Need an adapter, cable or extension cord?
Visit Multi-Use Space South (CMU 203) to temporarily check out an Apple display adaptor, VGA cable, HDMI cable, or extension cord. Second Floor Services staff will share additional reservation policies at the time of check-out.
Currently registered student groups in good standing with SUA may reserve space. Listed officers of registered student groups are permitted to make reservations for SUA venues. The listed officer of the group may designate their members to reserve meeting space on the Second Floor.
More information about reservations in the student unions can be found at https://sua.umn.edu/reserve-space/event-services-faq.
Rooms 205A, 205C, 205D, 205F and 205G are reservable by student groups in accordance with reservation process policies and are referred to as “reservable meeting space” within these policies.
The remaining spaces in CMU 205 (known as Multi-Use Space North) are not reservable. They are to remain open to student groups for meeting use as needed on a first-come, first-served basis.
To avoid a student group monopolizing space:
- Each group is allowed to reserve Second Floor meeting space up to five hours per week.
- Series reservations (i.e. weekly or monthly recurring reservations) are not allowed. Student groups are encouraged to reserve meeting space on Coffman’s Third Floor for recurring meeting reservations via Reservations Day.
- Student groups may reserve multiple rooms simultaneously provided they are within their weekly five-hour allotment. For example, a student group can reserve all five meeting rooms at the same time for one hour each.
- Meeting rooms may not be reserved more than two weeks in advance.
Second-floor reservable meeting space that has not been reserved may be claimed by any registered student on a first-come, first-served basis.
An electronic display outside each room shows the day’s reservations. Groups may also check availability with the second-floor staff located in the Multi-Use Space South.
