We try to keep weekly and monthly activities free, however should an entrance or hiring fee be charged at the venue, students may have to cover the cost. If activities are taking place out of CBD boundaries and require transport costs students may be ask to pay a transportation fee. Posters containing information regarding the activity, including estimated cost are put on the activity board weekly. Should a student decide to sign up for an activity, it is their responsibility to check if a cost is involved.
