Online Resources

Online Resource Room

Office of Student Activities offers these tips and resources as guidance for student organizations to be successful. The staff in the Office of Student Activities can offer additional support related to these and other resources.

Much of what student organizations are doing is in the online space.  Penn State provides all students access to the video communications platforms, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams.  While these resources are very convenient, it is important to ensure they are used in a way that maintains safety for all participants. In order to keep your online meetings and events running smoothly and safely, review how you can set up your online spaces using the platforms’ many safety measures including waiting rooms and passcodes as well as requiring Penn State authentication.   

Penn State’s Office of Information Security has comprehensive guides to help: 

• Zoom Meetings 
• Zoom: Prevent and Manage Meeting Disruptions  

If you are hosting a zoom that is disrupted, please contact the Office of Student Activities immediately.  Someone from that office will immediately contact University Police.
