This student clubs survey asks university students about participation, interests, and barriers to joining. Use it to plan club support that includes students who have not yet taken part.
Feedback from current members explains only part of the picture. Students who wanted to join but could not may need clearer information, different meeting times, or a more welcoming first visit.
When to use this student clubs survey
Student unions and campus activity teams can use this survey during a named academic term. It evaluates access to clubs and societies, not academic performance or satisfaction with the whole institution. Create it in SurveyLegend and invite members and nonmembers.

Customize the questions for your setting
Use club types familiar on the campus and keep an open response for interests outside the current offer. Avoid treating nonparticipation as a lack of motivation. Announce the survey through general student channels as well as clubs so students outside existing networks can respond. Review added sensitive questions so students can describe barriers without revealing financial or health details.
Use a printable student clubs survey
Offer the blank questionnaire at a student activities information point for people who prefer paper or cannot answer online. Explain where completed forms should be returned and who will review them. Handwritten replies need separate manual handling; they are not automatically added to online results.

Turn the responses into practical improvements
Separate current participants, interested nonparticipants and students who do not want to join. Compare their main barriers before investing in recruitment. A timetable change may help a different group from a buddy introduction. Treat requested changes as priorities to explore, not guaranteed attendance. Classify open-ended data by the participation barrier described, keeping unusual but actionable access needs visible.
In the abstract, Brereton and Mistry (2019) write: “difficulty in ‘fitting in’, costs, time, geography, and communication”. The authors identify these as barriers in their students' union survey. Those dimensions inform the answer options here. The research concerned one students' union, so local feedback should determine which barriers matter on your campus.

Frequently asked questions
Should nonmembers receive this survey?
Yes. Their answers are essential if the purpose is to understand barriers to participation.
Is this a club registration form?
No. An expression of interest does not enroll anyone. Provide the institution's separate joining process.
Can I compare clubs with these answers?
This version asks about campus participation generally. Evaluating individual clubs requires naming the relevant club and collecting enough appropriate responses.
