Most RSOs are funded from the activity fee that all students pay. In recent years, the fee has been about $81. Every semester, the SGA reviews RSOs, and the RSOs that have not enough members are considered inactive and don’t receive funding. Club Sports are considered RSOs by UMass Amherst. Read More!
