Start a Society

This is a document which explains the aims of the society and what the committee positions are. Once submitted, it awaits approval by the Communities Zone Executive Committee (CZEC) who are a group of elected students. More information on the CZEC can be found here. See also Schedule 8 for Societies Guidelines & Regulations. 

We recommend using the template included in the Society Starter Pack. You'll edit the highlighted parts, including the society name, aims, and committee positions.

Please email your Starter Pack (which includes your proposed constitution) to communities.union@stir.ac.uk by one of the following dates:

The society committee is a group of students tasked with running the group. 

All society committees must be elected democratically by current members at an Annual General Meeting, or an Emergency General Meeting if a post becomes open.

The President, Secretary and Treasurer are mandatory positions and will appear on the academic transcript upon graduation. Any additional committee roles must be voted in by the current membership and sent to the VP Communities for approval prior to being officially elected. All other committee roles are optional and, as of now, will not appear on academic transcripts.
