So, it's a new academic year and you aren't sure what needs to be done to make sure your society stays in the Students' Association? We can help!

Each year you'll need to submit a couple of forms. This will change over the following year as we update our system, but this year you'll need to submit an asset declaration and a member declaration. You can access the forms by going to our dedicated minisite and logging in with your society's details. These were emailed to societies' non-personal email addresses and most presidents and treasurers on the 22nd September 2011; if you aren't aware of having received the details, please check your old email! If you definitely didn't receive the email, you can ask for the login details from the webmaster. Once you're logged in, you can access the forms by using the Navigation menu on the left.

The asset declaration should include all the various valuable items owned by your society, so that we can keep track of them for insurance purposes, and you should still submit an (empty) one even if your society has not a possession in the world! The member declaration is nice and quick, and simply assures us that you have the required 25 members in your society, each of whom have paid you at least £3 in membership this academic year. We can't affiliate any societies without the minimum number of members!

As well as submitting the forms, you'll need to attend Treasurers' and Health & Safety training. Your treasurer must attend the former, but any member of your committee (including the Treasurer) can go to the latter. Details of training times will be emailed round the societies.
