Student Membership Terms and Conditions
- Your University matriculation card doubles as your Sports Centre membership card. Please carry it with you at all times when visiting the Sports Centre.
- Memberships are non-transferable - do not pass your matriculation card to anyone else.
- Membership fees are non-refundable. Exceptional cases (inability to undertake physical activity, leaving the University) must be supported by appropriate evidence and will be considered at the discretion of the Department of Sport and Exercise. An administration fee will apply.
- Facility availability. The DSE is committed to providing facilities for the Athletic Union clubs. Facility availability during semester time will therefore be limited at peak times.
- Footwear. Appropriate and clean footwear is essential in all indoor activity spaces and on the all-weather facilities.
- Health and safety. All persons using the Sports Centre and related facilities do so at their own risk. In each facility a PARQ (Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire) is posted and members should ensure their fitness to exercise; if in doubt please obtain medical advice before using any of the facilities.
- No shows. Failure to turn up for a booked facility or class space on three occasions within six months may result in membership cancellation at the discretion of the Department of Sport and Exercise. No refund of the unused portion of the membership will be given.
- Energise class terms and conditions (applying to Fitness+ members only):
Block booking:
• Classes should only be booked for the full term if members are able to attend every week. This is to ensure that all members (regardless of membership category) have an equal opportunity to access classes. Those who will not be able to attend all classes within the specified term have the flexibility to “drop in” to any class subject to availability on the day.
• Pilates is not a “drop in” class and is pre bookable only.
• A maximum of three classes can be block booked within each term.
• The three strikes of non-attendance policy applies when block booking Energise Classes.

• Alter the regulations without prior notice
