SFPIRG is a student-funded non-profit organization, autonomous from both the University and the Student Society. We receive $3 each semester from each full time student and $1.50 from each part time student. Following a successful graduate student referendum in Spring 2020, as of the Fall 2023 semester, we received $6.13 from full-time graduate students and $3.07 from part-time graduate students. Therefore, after paying their student fees, all students are members of SFPIRG and can use the resources available through our centre. Non-students can also become associate members of SFPIRG and get involved with us.

We realize that not everyone shares SFPIRG’s values, so each semester we offer students the ability to revoke their membership. If you would like to opt-out, bring your student card, proof of payment & registration for the semester some time during the dates and times listed below. Once you opt-out, you are no longer a member of SFPIRG and will not be eligible to use the organization’s resources and services.

To Opt Out:

Fee Refund Week occurs between January 31 – February 8.

• Fee Refunds will be processed digitally in Spring 2024 for the protection of our communities.
• Email admin@sfpirg.ca to opt out of membership and receive a fee refund no later than 11.59pm on Feb 15th.
