VUSU membership is a yearly student membership that gives you access to discounted events, early registrations, VIP‑only activities, and monthly newsletters. It’s designed to help students get more involved in campus life while saving money.
-
Membership is $35 for the entire year. It covers January–December, regardless of when you sign up, and must be renewed each year.
-
Only currently enrolled VU students can purchase a membership. Staff cannot join unless they are also enrolled as students, because VUSU is funded through the SSAF (Student Services and Amenities Fee).

Discounts on major events (Ball, Cruise Party, training courses)
24‑hour early access to event registrations
Invitations to VIP‑only events

First Aid certificates

-
Usually no, your name is automatically added to the member list. For some VIP events, you may need to show your student ID so staff can confirm your membership.
-
Memberships are generally non‑refundable, as the fee contributes to student services and event subsidies. Exceptions may apply in rare administrative cases.
-
Newsletters are sent to your preferred email, which you choose when signing up. You can update it by contacting VUSU.
-
If you are enrolled as a student, you are eligible, even if you also work at VU. If you are staff only, you cannot join due to SSAF funding rules.
