How do I join a club or society?

How do I book a ticket for an event?
Tickets for events will go live soon so watch this space.
Also follow us on our social media channels @leedstrinitysu where we will be giving updates.
Are the events expensive?
Most of our events will be free, we just want you to have fun!
If there is a cost for an event just know we've done our best to get the cheapest price for you.
Do I have to pay for my LTSU membership?
It is completely free to be a member of LTSU you just need to opt in when you start at Leeds Trinity. This can done via E:Vision under Student Union. You can find our guide to opt in here.
But you do have to pay to join groups and attend certain events - but every penny you spend with us goes straight back into the Union!
Is LTSU part of the University?
Surprisingly No!
LTSU is a registered charity and separate organisation from the University.
We hold the University accountable by always challenging them to continue to make the student experience at Leeds Trinity University more inclusive, better value for money, and fair for all.
Sometimes we may work closely with the University on specific initiatives, events, or activities but we remain as two separate and independent organisations.
Basically just think of us as the cool sibling that will always have your back!
Is Student Support the same thing as LTSU Advice?
We are a seperate organisation to the University and so is our Advice Service.
We recommend you come to us especially if you need help with the academic side of things.
Another benefit of being indpendent to the University means we can fight your corner when you need support. Our friendly advisors can help you with a range of different cases.
Remember we are here to help!
I had another question? Who can I ask?
Don't worry! We got you!
Just drop us an email on student.union@leedstrinity.ac.uk
We will do our best to answer any questions that you might have.
Remember there's no such thing as a silly question!
