What your Membership Means
This page outlines what you get out of your society or sports club membership and the importance of paying the membership fee.
This page outlines the following:
By purchasing a membership for your club and society you agree to abide by the Students' Union Code of Conduct. You can download the full code of conduct below.
Sports Club Membership
Memberships are an essential part of university sports clubs and cover a broad array of components throughout the year. All memberships have to be paid prior to playing in any fixtures.
Failure to pay membership will result in you not being able to attend training sessions or be part of the club in question.
You can choose either to buy a Standard Membership which covers your membership for the whole academic year or a semester membership which covers your membership for the semester you purchase it in.
Sports membership includes:
- Training facilities and times
- Affiliation to your National Governing Body
- Playing kit (team dependent and if applicable)
- Referees (if applicable)
- Coaching staff (if applicable)
- Transport (minibuses / coaches / fuel) (if applicable)
- Elite Personal Accident Insurance
Checks will be carried out every week to ensure all memberships have been paid by all match day players and competition entrants.
Please note that we reserve the right to stop a student representing the SU or the University in Sport. This is if we feel there are concerns about your attendance and/or engagement with your academic studies. The SU and the university maintain a dialogue on such matters, so please bear that in mind.
Society Membership
Memberships are an essential part of Societies and the fee enables the society to purchase equipment, go on trips and organise events. All members of the society must pay the annual membership fee as determined by the committee to take part in all activities of the society.
Refund Policy
Please see our Refund Policy for further information on what you can request a refund for and timeframes.
To request a refund, please complete the form here - Sports Club and Society Membership Refund Request.
Your request will be looked at by a member of the team and we will be in contact within 14 days.
Please note: membership refunds will only be given within two weeks of purchase. Any requests after this time can only be granted following extenuating circumstances. Enquire at the SU Welcome Desk if you are unsure.
We are always really keen, throughout the year, to hear from members of our student groups as it is not possible for us to meet or talk to all of you!
Please complete this form to provide any feedback you have on your club, society, or network experience. This can be positive feedback or relate to any concerns you might have about any aspect of the group and how it is run/organised etc.
