RSO Transitioning is the bi-annual process where an RSO updates their RSO information in order to keep it up to date. Even if an RSO does not have any changes they must still login to their Saluki Connects page and save with no changes. This is required in order for our office to be able to communicate with the current officers and advisers when needed.
Visit https://siu.presence.io/ to transition your RSO today! Spring RSO transitions are due January 31, 2026!
The Spring 2026 RSO Transition cycle will begin December 10th with a deadline for organizations to transition by January 31, 2026.

The Spring 2026 Involvement Fair registration deadline will be January 13, 2026.
Steps to Transition
Please note, you need specific admin access in order to transition an organization. If you do not see the options outlined below, please contact rsohelp@siu.edu for assistance.
- Transitions should be completed by RSO officers or the Advisor. Officers hold admin access for their organization in Saluki Connect (formerly Presence).
- In the top right-hand corner, find the person icon and select "Admin Dashboard".
- Hover over the left navigation menu and select "Organizations" to bring up the organizations list.
- Search for your Organization, then click on the three stacked dots to the far right of your organization's name. Select "Transition" from the menu that appears. If you do not see the word "Transition", look to make sure there is a blue box next to your organization's name that says, "In Transition".
- The next screen will be your Transition screen. The transition process has you look over the information for your organization and confirm everything is up to date; this includes your organizations name, constitution, by-laws, meeting times, social media accounts, roster, etc. If you complete the transition process, you will be able to mark old members as "former", update any position changes for your current members, and add in any new folks that joined.
- President, Secretary, Treasurer must be listed on the roster.
- All members of the organization should be listed in Saluki Connect (formerly Presence). This listing should be kept up to date.
- Be mindful, all new members and officers added will receive an email invitation from Saluki Connect to the siu.edu email account. They MUST accept this invitation to be listed as a member or officer of your organization. Please remind them to accept this invitation. Sometimes email messages are routed to the junk mail folder.
- Check to be sure all the fields with a red asterisk (*) have been completed fully as those fields are required. When you are done updating your organization's information, scroll back to the top of the page and click on the green "Submit for Approval" button
- Once they have processed your request, you will get an email letting you know! Only after your Transition request has been approved will you see the changes reflected on your organization's page.
