A Student Group can automatically be dissolved if it ceases to be registered for the following academic year or if it is de-ratified by the Student Groups Committee in certain circumstances, for example, if your group reaches minimum membership numbers and cannot attract more members.
To deactivate your student group mid-year, you will need to follow the Dissolution clause in your group’s constitution (Section 12). Notice of the proposed dissolution will first need to be provided to the Student Groups Committee and to the Durham SU Board of Trustees in good time before calling a General Meeting to discuss the dissolution of the group. The group’s constitution sets the number of members needed to dissolve that specific group as it differs from group to group. If you do not have a copy of your group’s constitution, you can request one from the SU.
If the Student Group closes (for whatever reason), anything that it "owns" will need to be transferred to Durham SU; the members are not entitled to keep that. All assets will need to be returned to the Student’s Union and any log ins for social media, email and all other accounts passed over to the ASK Team. To send all assets to the SU, please get in touch with the ASK Team via the linked form.
