Suitable Activity Creation

Student Task Creation Guide

You can earn RMU Ready points for activities you've already completed that aren't currently listed in the program by creating and submitting a new task.

Mandatory First Step: Please search the Suitable app or contact ready@rmu.edu to ensure the activity isn't already available before creating a new task. Beginning in Fall 2025, points for RMU Ready eligible courses will be automatically awarded after the submission of grades each semester.  

Student groups who submit their events to Revolution can request RMU Ready eligibility in the Revolution event submission form.
