Register and start a new association!

As a Student Union Association at SUS, you gain access to various types of support and services. For example, you can book SU and SUS facilities free of charge, apply for funding to organize activities on campus, and network with other Student Union Associations.
Do you have an idea you want to bring to life? We're here to help!
2.The first step is to find two other people who want to start the association with you. All three of you must be members of SUS.
Next, you’ll need to write the association’s statutes, which will serve as your internal rules. You can use our template for statutes as a starting point.
After that, you’ll hold your constituting meeting.This is your association’s first official meeting, where you adopt the statutes and formally decide to start the association. We also provide a template for this meeting to help you get started.
Now you’re ready to apply for Student Union Association status! To do this, send your statutes and the minutes from the constituting meeting to the SUS Projects and Events Developer.
If you need support at any stage of the process, feel free to reach out to the Projects and Events Developer.
If you’ve already held your constituting meeting, you can apply by submitting your statutes and the minutes from your most recent annual meeting to the SUS Projects and Events Developer, along with a description of your association. The description should indicate whether the association has ties to, or ongoing collaborations with, any other organizations.
To be granted Student Union Association status, at least three members of your board must be members of SUS.
-
To maintain your status as a student association, re-registration must be done every year in October.
You can re-register by emailing the SUS’s Project and Events Developer your latest annual meeting minutes and your bylaws if they have been modified.
For your association to maintain its status as a Student Union Association, your association must consist of at least three individuals on the associations' board who are members of SUS during the current operational year. It should be clearly indicated in communication with SUS who the contact person is for your association.
