Organization registration/renewal is completed in each group’s OrgSync portal. Please read these instructions carefully prior to beginning your registration/renewal.

Before you begin you will need:

• Names, emails, phone numbers, and student ID number for each of your officers.
• A full organization roster in a separate document (e.g. Word or Excel)
• Name, email, and phone for your advisor(s)
• Your organization’s mission statement
• Your organization’s phone number, email, and website, if applicable
• A current, up to date, electronic copy of your constitution

To renew your registration:

• Log-in to your OrgSync Portal
  • Go to www.orgsync.com and log-in with your full @bgsu.edu email and your MyBGSU password
  • Hover over My Orgs and select the organization you wish to renew from your list 
• Select Settings from the bottom left corner
  • If you do not see Settings, you do not have Administrative Access to your portal. Request Admin Access
• Update the Organization Profile
  • All options marked with an * are required.  All options noted as “Public” will be viewable on the Registered Organization Directory.

    • Select either Open Sign-Up, Invite Only, or Restricted Membership
    • Click Save Settings.

  • If a member is already in the portal, move them to Officers or Administrators.
    • Go to People >> All.  Select appropriate members. Choose Move Selected Members to Officers (or Administrators) and hit submit.
  • If members are not already in the portal, go to Members >> Invite Members. Select appropriate account group, enter an invite message, and enter all officer's BGSU email addresses.
    • Officers will then receive an email containing a link they will have to follow to join the portal.
      
  • Individuals reported as Officers must belong to the account groups Administrators or Officers.
    • Administrators have access to control all parts of the portal (including budget).
    • Group permissions for Officers can be set by going to Members >> Group Permissions.
    • Individual Permissions can be set by going to People >> All >> Options for that Individual >> Manage Modules
• This is a required step to registration! Organization registrations will not be approved without a completed OrgSync portal.
