GET INVOLVED
Associations and College Societies:
Student groups, associations and college societies who affiliate with VUSU will be eligible to use funding provided by VUSU from Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF). Only the President of any affiliated association will be a board member of VUSU with voting power, and their other members will be considered as subcommittee members of VUSU. Subject to the VUSU board’s absolute control and supervision, each membership section subcommittee may manage its own affairs but must make regular reports to the board (or otherwise as the board may require from time to time). Each membership section subcommittee must promptly and regularly produce its meeting minutes and records for inspection by or on behalf of the board. A membership section subcommittee must in the exercise of those powers delegated to it, conform to any regulation or restriction that the board may impose upon it from time to time. ( link to the section seven of future VUSU constitution should be inserted here for more information).
Currently International Students Association (ISA) is affiliated with VUSU, and the College of Law and Justice Society (Dictum) is due for reaffiliation with VUSU.
