What is the Society Accreditation Scheme (SAS)?

SAS is a new system we are utilising to help reward societies for their performance. It contains a variety of different categories and tasks that aim to push and direct societies towards being the best they can be for their members.

Below it is described how to earn towards a bronze, silver, or gold medal in each of the categories:

 

Academic Societies' Objectives

Arts & Activities Societies' Objectives

Cultural Societies' Objectives

Faith Societies' Objectives

Liberation & Campaigns Societies' Objectives

What do the medals go towards?

When a society earns medals, they accumulate points which unlock special benefits for the society that help demonstrate and show off their success to their members as well as the wider student body.

Each medal has its own value attached. Bronze medals are worth one point, Silver Medals are worth three points, and Gold Medals are worth five points.

Each medal earned by a society will be added to their society page so that it can be shown to all students that the society has achieved a milestone in that category.

Once a society has accumulated thirteen points they achieve a Bronze Rank which grants them the following benefits:

  • The achievement of becoming Bronze Rank being published across KSU Socials. 
  • The committee of the society qualify for certificates authenticating their work for the society.
  • The committee qualify to ask the Societies Development Coordinator for a reference for their CV.

Once a society has accumulated twenty-six points they achieve a Silver Rank which grants them the following benefits:

  • All of the Bronze Rank Rewards.
  • The achievement of becoming Silver Rank being published across KSU Socials. 
  • An article written on the KSU Website exaplinging their achievement and the process by which they achieved it.
  • A photoshoot of the committee for KSU Socials to show off who were the driving force behind this achievement. 
  • The society being advertised on KSU TVs as a collage of all Silver Rank Societies.

Once a society has accumulated forty points they achieve a Gold Rank which grants them the following benefits:

  • All of the Bronze & Silver Rank Rewards.
  • The achievement of becoming Silver Rank being published across KSU Socials. 
  • Video interview of the committee, exploring the journey they have taken to get to this achievement.
  • The society being advertised on KSU TVs as a collage of all Gold Rank Societies.
  • The society becoming a candidate for the Society of the Year Award as a part of the Annual KSU Union Awards.

In order to earn medals the society's committee need to regularly submit evidence to build their portfolio of accomplishments in order to hit the medal milestones. They can do so through the button below:
