What happens after I submit my application form?
 
After LSU receives your application the AU President and Student Activities Officer will have a meeting to decide if it is appropriate for the proposed club/society to become affiliated to LSU and in what capacity. At this meeting it will also be decided if your club/society is going to be an AU Club or a Student Society.
 
How will I know if my application has been successful?
 
You will be contacted via e-mail by either the Au President or the Student Activities Officer to say if your application has been successful and the relevant section will take your application further.
 
What happens next?
 
Once your club or society becomes affiliated to LSU you will be given space on www.lufbra.net to run your club and a membership product will be created so that people can join your club through e-shop. Once you have 20 members or more members the relevant executive officer will call a General Meeting of all your members to elect a committee.
 
How will I know how to run my club/society?
 
As soon as a committee has been elected LSU will be on hand to offer you all the support and training you need to make your club or society a real success.
