Membership

Becoming a member

There are two possibilities to become a member of the TSAC every year. Immediately after the Kick-In, there are four open evenings and in February there are four open evenings as well. Everyone who is interested can come and climb during these evenings in SC 3 and there will be membership forms. The only exception to the fact that there are two possibilities to become a member is if you have already passed your KVB-IT. In this case you can become a member at any time during the year.

The open days are held after the Kick In in SC3 of the sport center and you can simply walk in without having to register. The exact dates will follow, keep an eye on this website or Instagram!

The membership of the TSAC will cost 30 euros every year and for "buitenleden" (no UT or Saxion students) 40 euros every year. Furthermore, you pay 30 euros as an entrance fee. To become a member of a sport association on the UT, you should also have a UnionCard. Other prices can be found on the prices list.

UnionCard

If you are a UT student and you want to buy a UnionCard, you have to visit https://dms.utwente.nl/en/home . After you signed in you click on the button "What's on offer" and then you follow the steps to payment. The UnionCard will be placed on you studentcard.
