I am unable to complete the payment for membership

Question 5

Can I become a union member and join SSSB's housing queue, even though I am not studying at SEDU?

Accepted Answer

To become a member of the student union you must be a student at the Swedish Defence University
​
However, you can accumulate up to 90 queue days without being an active student.

Anyone who wishes to support the unions' activities without being a student can become a supporting member. However, a support membership is not enough to stand in SSSB's queue.

Question 6

Who can become a member?

Accepted Answer

The Swedish Defence University Student Union offers two types of membership: Ordinary Membership and Supporting Membership.

Membership is regulated in detail by the statutes of the Swedish Defence University Student Union, which apply to all members. An ordinary member is a student at the Swedish Defence University who has paid the membership fee as determined by the General Assembly. Membership is considered invalid if the member is not also a student at the Swedish Defence University.

A student is defined as someone who can present a valid certificate of registration at the Swedish Defence University, or an equivalent document proving their eligibility. To access the benefits of ordinary membership (such as Mecenat and the SSSB housing queue), you must be registered as a student at the Swedish Defence University—being admitted is not sufficient.

A supporting member is someone who is not a student at the Swedish Defence University but wishes to support the Student Union's activities by paying the supporting membership fee as decided by the General Assembly. As a supporting member, you contribute to supporting the activities of the Swedish Defence University Student Union but do not receive any of the membership benefits available to ordinary members.
