What happens after the pilot?

You choose whether to continue. There is no automatic conversion or charge.

Committee & union applications

Apply for your society’s pilot

This form is for society committee contacts — the pilot runs in coordination with your student union. We’ll use your details only to contact you about the pilot. Students looking for activities can head straight to the societies directory; union staff exploring an institution-wide pilot can use the institution pilot form.

The pilot is free and there is no automatic charge. We will discuss continuation options with your committee before the pilot ends.
