NUS Democracy card

The NUS Democracy Card is available to all members of NUS-affiliated students' unions free of charge. This card acts as a student ID and proves your membership of your local union allowing you to access local union facilities, voting in your union elections and also participating in NUS' democratic events such as annual conference.

The Democracy Card will not provide access to any discounts or special offers. NUS Extra is a new student discount card that is only available to students who are members of an NUS-affiliated students' union (similar to the Democracy Card). As a Democracy Cardholder you can upgrade to Extra at any time (from August 15th) by visiting www.nusextra.co.uk or your students' union.

The NUS Extra Card is available for only £10 and will get you access to the widest range of discounts locally, nationally and online. Click here to find out more about Extra.

Your Democracy Card will also give you access to all of the information, advice and campaign updates available through nus online. Democracy Cardholders also have the opportunity to register with NUS Online and opt in to receive the monthly NUS e-newsletter with the latest information, advice and details of how to get involved in national campaigns. To register online, click here. All you will need is your Democracy Card number and a valid email address.

If your union issues a local college or union card, unfortunately you will not be able to register with NUS Online but you will have access to all other opportunities to participate in your unions and NUS democratic structures as well as the opportunity to browse the open areas of nusonline.co.uk.
