To become a member of MSHV Manos, you need both a Manos membership and a UM SPORTS membership. To obtain the Manos membership, you will have to buy a membership through our website. To do so, please click here.
You can purchase a membership for the following periods:
| Period | Start | End | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full academic year | September 2026 | July 2027 | € 65 |
| First semester | September 2026 | January 2027 | € 35 |
| Second semester | January 2027 | July 2027 | € 35 |
These memberships start on the first day of the first month and end on the last day of the last month.
You can have any UM SPORTS membership, whether it is a Sports, Gym, or All-in-One membership. The only requirement is that the duration of your UM SPORTS membership is either a Semester or Year membership. Unfortunately, members with a Monthly UM SPORTS membership are not eligible to join the association. For more information about UM SPORTS memberships and rates, please visit the UM SPORTS rates page.
Why do I also need a UM SPORTS membership?
A UM SPORTS membership is required because UM SPORTS and MUSST actively support and subsidize student sports associations. This support helps make sports accessible and affordable for all members.
For example, the subsidy contributes to costs such as qualified trainers, coaching, and sports facilities/accommodation. Funding comes partly from the UM SPORTS memberships that students purchase and partly from subsidies provided by Maastricht University.
Proof of possession of your UM Sports membership needs to be submitted to MSHV Manos by emailing it to membership@mshvmanos.com before the latter of the following deadlines:
– 14 days after purchasing the membership to MSHV Manos;
– 14 days after the start date of the membership to MSHV Manos.
A screenshot of your profile on MyUSC in combination with an overview of your UM Sports memberships from MyUSC will be accepted as a proof of membership.
Additionally, you will need to add MSHV Manos to your MyUSC account by navigating to ‘My Account’, and then ‘Associations’.
Your membership to MSHV Manos shall be suspended in case proof of possession of your UM Sports membership is not submitted before the deadline. The suspension shall be lifted as soon as proof has been submitted and verified.
Failure to submit proof or failure to acquire an appropriate UM Sports membership is not a ground for a refund of your MSHV Manos membership. Failure to acquire an appropriate UM Sports membership can lead to sanctions imposed by UM Sports and MUSST. These sanctions are the responsibility of the MSHV Manos member who has failed to acquire the UM Sports membership and shall be passed onto the member accordingly.
A membership is not refundable.
A membership is not automatically renewed.
