Accreditation Scheme

Go for Gold!

The KCLSU Accreditation Scheme is here for all student activity groups, media groups and societies!

As one of our 400+ student groups and societies, you are at the heart of KCLSU and we want to celebrate your success and recognise your hard work. The KCLSU Accreditation Scheme is designed to reward you for your achievements throughout the year, help you recruit more members and grow your reputation. Every student group can get involved and strive to achieve gold, silver or bronze accreditation.

FAQs

Can we jump straight to Silver/ Gold?

Yes, but you must complete all of the bronze criteria before you can reach silver or gold, because these are the compulsory requirements to remain a ratified student activity group. It is a point-based system so once you achieve bronze, you can complete criteria from either silver or gold. You must achieve 60 points to be awarded bronze, 160 points to be awarded silver, and 300 points to be certified as a gold group.

When will we get our accreditation?

When you submit the criteria that you have completed via our interactive scorecard, we will review your progress on the first Monday of the month, and the results will be published in the Activities Update on the last Friday of the month. You will also get to chance to be awarded 'Society of the month' and have your society's picture displayed on our digital screens and our website.

For any other queries, please email [email protected].
