There are two vital pieces of information for sport club registration:

  • DoSportsEasy (DSE)
  • Driver authorization

See below for all the information you need to ensure that your sport club is set to compete this semester!

DoSportsEasy

All members of your club need to be registered on DoSportsEasy (DSE). The Sport Club Office uses DSE to look over membership criteria, track officers, manage budgets, approve events, and more. All clubs must have at least ten (10) active members in the club. There will be member checks for compliance.

The deadline to have all members registered for the fall semester is 5pm on Friday, September 12. This is a flexible deadline; work with your liaison to set it prior to the original deadline.

How to get to DSE

  1. Navigate to DoSportsEasy
  2.  Click “Log in” in the upper righthand corner. Select “University Account.” You will use your normal NetID log in.
  3. . Once you are logged in, click “Registration” for your club.
  4.  You will be prompted for information to complete your registration. Indicate any officer positions you have, if you are an authorized driver, if you are a safety officer, and fill out your Member Consent Form and Supplemental Health Waiver. Once everything is entered, you will be in a queue to be manually approved by the Sport Club Office.

Additional Requirements

Presidents and Treasurers are required to complete the RSO Orientation Course and upload a screenshot of 100% completion in order to be approved on DSE. The screenshot must include your name and shows that you have completed all sections of the course. An example of an acceptable screenshot is below.

What if I have completed registration and it has taken over a week to be approved?

Open your registration and make sure it is completely filled out. There will be a red icon next to the sections that are incomplete. Please check for messages: if something is not filled out correctly, the Sport Club Office will send a message through DSE explaining the issue and what needs to be fixed. If everything is filled out properly and you do not have messages, email the Sport Club Office at sportclubs@recwell.wisc.edu with the issue.

Driver Authorization

Individuals must be authorized in order to reserve and drive fleet vehicles, drive and be reimbursed for personal vehicle business-usage mileage, and to rent a vehicle from external providers for university business. This includes traveling to offsite locations for practices, events, and competition where club participants are taking rented or private vehicles. There must be at minimum one (1) authorized driver per vehicle being taken if traveling in-state, and at minimum two (2) authorized drivers per vehicle when traveling out-of-state. Anyone who intends on driving during the trip needs to be authorized.

You can apply to become an authorized driver using the following steps below:

Allow driving record access (out-of-state license holders)

Effective April 28, 2025: Most faculty, staff, or students who currently hold–or held in the most recent 24 months–an out-of-state driver’s license will no longer be required to obtain and submit their driving records with their application.
Exceptions include license holders from: Canada, U.S. Territories, and California, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania. Drivers holding a license from these jurisdictions (currently or within the past 24 months) must continue to submit a copy of their driving abstract/driving record when completing the VUA.
Those holding a Wisconsin driver’s license for at least 24 months will not be impacted and may continue to expect their VUA to be processed in the same manner.
For most out-of-state license holders (excluding those listed above): Upon submission of their VUA in the Enterprise Fleet Management System, the applicant will receive an email notification from HireRight with instructions on how to authorize HireRight to obtain their driving record.
The HireRight email will include links to the HireRight system for entry of the driver’s personal information (address, driver’s license number, etc.). The link only remains active for FIVE (5) days, and if there is a delayed or no response from the driver, their application may be denied. If denied, the driver will be required to reapply and go through the process again.”
