When you register at York St John you will be asked to opt in to the Students' Union.

As a member of the Students' Union, you can join a sport or society, vote in our annual elections, join our loyalty programme and much more.

About the Students' Union

The Students' Union is run by students, for students. Every year you will elect presidents who will lead the Students' Union in making positive change for students. Our job is to represent the student body in all aspects of University life. Presidents are supported by Student Officers, including Liberation Officers, Chairs of School, and Academic Reps. We aim to make sure that our diverse student voice is heard and represented.

Find the YSJSU building at the heart of campus, and head to:

  • The Lounge: A space to relax, study and socialise. Charge your devices ahead of a lecture and catch up with friends over a frappé.
  • The Bar: A place to socialise, grab some hot food and catch the sports channel. Take advantage of our drinks deals all week long.
  • InfoPoint: Our one stop shop for everything you need from the SU. We're here to answer any questions and point you in the right direction for any help or support you might need.
