Pro-rata memberships are not available for renewing members
New adult members joining UQBC for the first-time and part way through the season may still be offered a pro-rated rate but this is at the discretion of the Board.
Payment plans will be considered for members with genuine financial need, but full payment will ultimately be required.
Please contact our Treasurer treasurer@uqbc.org if you would like to apply for a payment plan.
New Members
If you have previously been a member of another Club, you will start your renewal process via our website.
The system will flag that you are a new member and will need to process a transfer request. Please do not register for UQBC membership until you receive an email confirming you can finalize your renewal and registration to UQBC. Otherwise reach out to UQBC or RQ if you have any questions regarding your membership.
Prospective members may be required to undertake an on-water assessment to evaluate safety and competency. UQBC expects a high level of independence and sufficiency from all members. Applicants who do not satisfy the competency requirements are invited to apply for the UQBC Learn to Row and/or Intermediate Program.
Please note that you must be 15 years of age or older to apply for membership at UQBC.
