Benefits of Affiliation

Venue bookings

As an affiliated club, you can book a variety of spaces across the UC campus free of charge. This includes most rooms on the Ilam and Dovedale campuses, as well as outdoor areas such as the C-Block Lawn.

Affiliated clubs can also book spaces within Haere-roa for events of all sizes, from quiz nights and workshops to formal dinners and end-of-year balls.

Equipment

Affiliated clubs have access to a wide range of equipment available through the UCSA. Whether you’re running a small meeting or a large event, we can help with equipment such as:

  • Trestle tables and chairs
  • Microphones and audio equipment
  • Projector kits
  • Cameras
  • Event support equipment

View the full list of available equipment and submit a booking request through the Equipment Booking form.

Photocopying and Printing

Each affiliated club receives up to $100 of free printing and photocopying per month. Any printing beyond this allowance will incur a charge.

Our team at the UCSA Reception can assist you with all printing and photocopying requests.

Promotion of Events

UCSA provides several channels to help promote your club and events, including:

  • CANTA Club Pages
  • UCSA Noticeboards (posters must be stamped at UCSA Reception)
  • UC TV

Making use of these promotional opportunities can help increase event attendance and grow your membership.

Clubs Day

The UCSA hosts three Clubs Days each year, providing clubs with an opportunity to connect with students, recruit new members, and showcase what they do.

  • Two Clubs Days are held during Orientation at the start of Semester One.
  • One Clubs Day is held during Re-Orientation at the start of Semester Two.

Registration information is distributed through the Clubs Newsletter and UCSA social media channels. Spaces are limited and demand is high, so we recommend registering as early as possible.

While we work hard to accommodate every club’s requirements, space and power allocations may be adjusted to ensure all participating clubs can be represented.

Why Participate?

Clubs Days are one of the best opportunities to:

  • Recruit new members
  • Raise awareness of your club
  • Test interest in new activities and initiatives
  • Connect with the wider UC community
  • Showcase what makes your club unique

Whether you’re a long-established club or a newly affiliated group, Clubs Days are an invaluable opportunity to engage with students and grow your presence on campus.

Please note: Participation in Clubs Days is exclusively available to affiliated clubs. Make sure your affiliation is up to date to secure your place.
