Treasurer’s Workshop
In previous years, the Treasurer’s Workshop was a seminar hosted by a professional within the Office of Registered Organizations that the treasurer was required to attend once during their collegiate career. Now the treasurer’s workshop is a quiz on Compass with questions taken straight from the Treasurer’s Handbook. The Treasurer’s Handbook can be found in multiple places, but will be a listed resource on Compass prior to taking the quiz. It is highly recommended that the treasurer read through the handbook prior to taking the quiz. The treasurer must receive a perfect score of 100% on the quiz or else they will not be recognized as a treasurer and the organization they are listed as the treasurer of will not be approved.
