The Student Activity Card (SA Card)
In order for a student to join any club or society they must hold a valid Student Activity Card. It is compulsory for participating in a union activity that you have an SA card.
The card costs just £15 and is valid for the entire duration of your time at the University of Winchester. The money goes to pay for activities insurance and assisting in the funding of all activities!
You can buy an activities card from the Student Union's reception desk in person (between 10am-2pm Monday to Friday ). A passport type photo is required.
We can issue your card immediately only on receipt of cash payment (cheques will need to clear before we can issue so you will need to call back).
An online ordering and payment option will be available soon from this website.
Remember, SA cards are policed by the President, Vice-President and the Student Development Officer. By not obtaining one and still participating, you put yourself, others and the Union at risk.
Starting a new activity: At Winchester we are keen for expansion of all of our activities and therefore anyone who is passionate about a particular sport or has a particular interest that they think other students may also want to partake in, then we are happy to fund a new club or society.
If you would like to start your own intrest group please contact the Vice President - E-mail: SU_VPAS@winchester.ac.uk who can help you with the creation of the new group.
If you meet the criteria (ie at least 14 other students share your interest for the new group), your proposed club or society can be forwarded for approval so we can provided with a budget, training for leading the activity, and provide equipment and space where relevant.
