Move - Your Student Gym
UPDATE ON ACCESS CARDS 15 Nov 2024
We are aware that there have been a number of problems recently, with students not receiving access cards, and so not being able to use the gym.
We understand that the cards are now available, and that Ipswich Borough Council will be making contact with people who have been affected, to explain where they can collect cards from at the start of week. Otherwise cards should be available from the gym on Wednesday afternoon.
We apologise if you have been affected by this issue, but unfortunately it is out of the hands of the Students' Union. If you continue to experience any issues with the gym, please email us: su@uos.ac.uk so we can look into things on your behalf.
