Here you'll find all of the resources and induction tasks you need to complete for getting started as a Student Group.

 

Tasks to Complete - PART 1

 

Following attendance at the initial Student Leaders Conference in June 2026, please complete the following admin tasks below in order to get your Student Group off to the best start for the 2026/27 academic year!

 

NOW

  • Complete an Admin Submission Form for your Club/Society (one required per Student Group), which includes your 2026/27 membership price, and your updated Student Group Constitution - see the required template for this here.

 

FROM 01 AUGUST 2026

  • New committee members officially start their positions for 2026/27!
     
  • Your 2026/27 memberships will start going on sale (once you’ve confirmed your membership fee via the Admin Submission Form above), so you can begin purchasing them yourselves.
     
  • The compulsory Moodle Modules (listed below) will be released, which you’ll need to complete before you can begin planning and organising any activities and events.
     
    • LSESU Student Leader Training (Societies)
    • Room Bookings Training

TASKS TO COMPLETE - PART 2

 

1. Requesting Admin Rights

  • In order to receive Admin Rights as committee members, you'll need to do the following:
    • Purchase your Club/Society membership(s) for 2026/27.
    • Submit your Student Group's Admin Submission Form.
    • Complete the compulsory Moodle modules listed above.
  • Once you've completed these steps, you can request Admin Rights by emailing su.societies@lse.ac.uk.
     
  • Once you're given Admin Rights, you’ll then have access to your Student Group dashboard on the LSESU website (which you can use to track memberships and edit your Club/Society's webpage among other things). You'll then also have admin access to the Student Group Expenses App.

 

2. Gaining 'Active' Status

  • In order for you to be able to start submitting Event and Trip Forms, your Student Group will need to be set as 'Active' on our internal systems.
  • In order for us to do so, we'll need you to have submitted your Student Group's Admin Submission Form, and have 2+ core committee members complete the Moodle Modules and purchase membership for your Student Group, so please let us know once that's done.

 

FURTHER STEPS AHEAD OF SEPTEMBER 2026

The following tasks can be completed by committee members at their own pace, but should be done before September / the beginning of the 2026/27 academic year:

  • Familiarise yourself with the key documents, rules and regulations below, found here.
    • LSESU Code of Conduct (2026/27 Version Coming Soon)
    • Student Group Agreement
    • LSE Code of Practice on Free Speech
  • Familiarise yourself with the overall Committee Hub itself - particularly the following sections:

 

ORGANISING ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS

FInAnCE AND FUNDING

 

  • Check that you have access to your central Club/Society email account, plus any other accounts / handover information passed over to you by the previous committee. If you don't, or need help accessing it, just let us know. Plus, if you haven't already, be sure to arrange a 'handover' meeting with your predecessors as well.
     
  • Stay on top of emails we send you throughout the summer, and check that you're receiving our weekly Clubs and Societies Newsletter to your LSE email as well - they'll begin around mid-late August.
     
  • Prepare for your involvement in Welcome Fair 2026!

EVENT FORMS AND FLAGSHIP DEADLINES

  • Please see here for more detailed information regarding the submission of Event Forms.
  • If you're planning to organise a 'Flagship' event (i.e. Ball, Conference) in 2026/27, we have separate deadlines for these due to them requiring more in-depth planning and tailored support - see below:

Deadline for Autumn Term Flagships = 31 August 2026

Deadline for Winter Term Flagships = 31 October 2026

  • We know it’s early days, so the Event Forms you submit for these can be brief at this stage. We'll then be able to work with you on the specifics of them as plans and details develop further.
  • Following the deadlines above, each 'Flagship' will be allocated a 'staff lead' from the Societies team, who will then be in touch with you for the purpose of supporting your planning and organisation of them.

MEMBERSHIPS

  • Each Student Group (with the exception of National/Cultural/Faith Groups which only need 10 members) must gain at least 20 members by the end of Reading Week in Autumn Term.
  • Those that do not meet this threshold will be referred to the Activities and Communities Officer, and may be considered for disaffiliation.
  • As such, it's important that you push the sale of your memberships (available via your Club/Society webpage when logged in) as much as possible at the start of the new academic year.
  • Student Group memberships are sold annually beginning 01 August, and are valid until 31 July (within the academic year for which they're purchased).
  • For more information on the rules and regulations with regards to memberships, see the link below:

 

STUDENT GROUP MEMBERSHIPS

NOTE - There can sometimes be delays in new students' details/data being transferred to our system at the beginning of each academic year following enrolment, meaning they're unable to purchase Club and Society memberships straight away as a result. In cases like this, please allow them a grace period with regards to getting involved in your activities, until they're able to officially purchase their membership.

Any questions on the above, or in general?

Just drop an email to su.societies@lse.ac.uk (Societies) or su.sport@lse.ac.uk (Sports Clubs) !
