All students will automatically become a member of KeeleSU upon enrolment with the University; postgraduate students will also become a member of the KPA. Students have the right to opt out of this membership at anytime by notifying the union(s).
Both Unions are independent organisations registered with the Charity Commission.
The full-time elected officers in both unions are members of University’s committees including Council, Senate and Student Voice Committee, along with many sub-committees, working groups and consultation groups.
The University is committed to its partnership with the Students' Unions. A copy of the Partnership Agreement can be found here.
The University and its unions comply with Section 22 (Students' Unions) of the Education Act 1994, which is available here.
