Membership eligibility

Students

You can purchase a student membership if you are a current student of Loughborough University. Current students of Loughborough University will automatically receive accounts with Loughborough Sport upon registration.

If you are a Loughborough College student, you can purchase a student membership upon request.

If you’re a Loughborough College student on a Loughborough University validated programme, follow the same activation instructions as Loughborough University students, using your loucoll.ac.uk email address.

If you’re not on a university validated programme, create a Community PAYG account and email sportmemberships@lboro.ac.uk from your loucoll.ac.uk email address so we can change you to a student member.
