Your Union – How To Join

Your University/Students’ Union Campus Card

When you have been accepted on a course of study at the University of Sunderland, you are eligible to become a member of the Students’ Union and to apply for your University/Students’ Union Campus Card.

When your place at the University is confirmed, you will be sent information from the University, which will include details of how to apply ONLINE for your Campus Card.  This is your University Student ID and Library card (Library card subject to entitlement depending on the course of study).

It’s also your Students’ Union card

The Students’ Union are not issuing separate Union cards. 
Your Campus Card will be valid for the whole of the time you are studying at the University, so you will not need to renew your card or your Students’ Union membership each year.  Returning students will already have been issued with a Campus Card last year, which is still valid and will therefore not be issued with a new card this year.

You will be able to collect your Campus Card from the Gateway on the City Campus on Chester Road, when you register with the University (you will be sent details by the University of your registration date and time).

WE ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH NUS, this means you will not be able to receive an NUS card through the University of Sunderland. The University Campus Card however gives you the same kinds of offers, discounts and promotion and is recognised nationally.
