Student Union Clubs and Societies

Clubs and Societies affiliated to the Student Union can have a computing account for publishing web pages and email.

The account can be managed by any member of the club/society with the permission of the Club President. Whoever registers the account is responsible for that account and anything done with it.

Club and Society computing accounts have:

• an email address
• 2 GB of filestore
• the ability to publish web pages

You may also apply for:

• a mailing list (to contact your members)
• an email alias

Applying for a club/society account:

• download a Club/Society Computer Account Registration Form
• complete the form
• have the Club President sign the form
• take the form to the Student Union Finance Officer for validation
• once validated take it to Information Services (Where are they located?) taking with you some form of photo id (e.g. Aber card, passport, photo driver's licence)

The account will be registered for one year only and must be re-registered at the beginning of each academic year - even if the same user remains responsible for it.
