Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question? Hopefully we can help here.
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.
Do I have to book sessions in bulk?
Not at all! We encourage participants to try different sessions without feeling tied to a weekly commitment. We understand the need for flexibility, so, other than some courses, you can pay as you go rather than booking a full block.
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.
Do I need an Edge membership to participate in the active campus sessions?
No Edge membership is required. Simply let reception know that you’re attending an Active Campus session, and they’ll allow you through the barriers.
What if I book a session but later have to cancel?
No problem! If you email the Active Campus team at least 24 hours before your session, you’ll receive a full refund.
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.
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.
