FEE SCHEDULE
Unigroup is a Professional Technical Organization and User Group, and its members pay a yearly membership fee.

! Students: We are looking for proof that you are
currently enrolled in classes (rather than working
full-time), and as such, your Student ID should show
a CURRENT date. We have been presented Student IDs
containing NO dates whatsoever, and in the
current environment, perpetual/non-expiring access
to university facilities just does not feel right.
If your ID contains no date, please bring
additional proof of current enrollment. Thanks.

Members: Remember to bring your membership card with you to the meeting, to confirm your yearly renewal date!
