In August the Activities Team will contact all societies and student groups regarding setting up memberships and prices for the academic year. 

Membership:

As standard, all groups are set up with a:

• Annual "Standard" memberships (available to all current University of Exeter students)
• Annual "Associate" membership (available to those with a Guild Associate membership) 

Groups can set the price for each of these memberships, however the associate membership is required to be higher than the annual standard. 

Groups can also request further types of memberships such as:

• Introduction membership
• Term 1 memberships
• Term 2/3 (starting in January)
• Social membership

These are not a requirement and are subject to setup after agreement with an Activities Team members. 

Membership price:

Groups are given the flexibility to decide their own membership price, however the Activity team recommends considering the following when setting it:

• Value for money - Is what the individual gets from the society worth the cost of the membership? For example, try dividing the membership cost by the amount of sessions/events your group offers in a year.
• Existing funds - If your society already has funds available, can these be used to subsidise membership costs for this year? Societies should be functioning to maximise the value for money their members get and not accruing profit. 

After submission, the Activities team may reach out to a society to find out more about why a particular price has been set. This is to help the team ensure the above has been considered by our Groups.
