Frequently asked questions
Have a question? Hopefully we can help here.
What if I book a session but later have to cancel?
No problem! For paid activity, if you cannot attend for any reason after payment, including illness or injury, you will be eligible for a credit voucher for the value of your booking, minus the non-refundable booking fees, provided 24 hours or more notice is given via email ([email protected]).
What is the skill level of the Active Campus sessions?
Everyone is welcome, regardless of experience. The sessions are designed for beginners and those looking to enjoy activities casually rather than competitively.
Who can attend Active Campus sessions?
The Active Campus programme is exclusively for the University of Leeds community, so only current staff and students can take part.
Do I need an Edge membership to participate in the active campus sessions?
No, an Edge membership or Student Club/LUU membership is not required to take part in Active Campus activities. Simply let reception know that you’re attending an Active Campus session, and they’ll allow you through the barriers. All Active Campus sessions operate on a pay‑as‑you‑go basis, so you only pay for the sessions you take part in.
Do I have to pay for the active campus sessions?
Yes. There is a small cost to cover facility and staffing expenses. However, we’ve made it our mission to keep prices as affordable as possible based on feedback from the University community.
As a postgraduate researcher, which of the classes do I have access to?
Postgraduate researchers have full access to all sessions, as your role overlaps both staff and student eligibility.
Are changing rooms, lockers and showers available?
Yes, these facilities are available at The Edge and the Gryphon Performance Hub. The Staff Wellbeing Hub also offers a shower and changing area, as well as space to keep your valuables nearby during sessions.
