Hello today on NvolveU & you, we will be talking about membership requests,
and what happens when students click that join now button.
The first few weeks of classes are typically heavy recruitment times for our
RSOs.
This means prospective new members might be checking out your organization's
Portal page on NvolveU,
and if they think your RSO is the right fit for them,
they might just click the join button. So what happens next? Well,
once someone clicks join, a membership request will be sent to the RSO's officers,
which they can view in their notifications inbox located in their user drawer.
You can also view any membership requests by navigating to the manage view of
your organization and selecting the roster tool from the organization tool
drawer. You will see tabs at the top for current, pending, and prospective members.
Pending members, or those who have been invited to join the org,
but have not yet accepted that invitation.
Prospective members are those who have discovered your organization and have
indicated they would like to join. From the perspective members tab,
you can view those users who are interested in joining your organization,
simply click approve or deny to change their membership status.
You can also send any prospective member a message prior to approval or denial
by selecting the checkbox to the left of their name,
and then selecting send a message.
This is a great option for RSOs who may want to meet prospective members in
person,
or invite them to an RSO meeting before making a decision about membership.
Now you are ready to grow your membership and help new students find community
and engagement! For other helpful RSO resources.
