Joining a student club or sports team is a great way to make friends.
The Students’ Union at York St. John University supports
around 30 clubs and societies, and student groups of ten or more
are welcomed to start new ones as they wish. The Students’ Union
at Holgate Centre offers a wide variety of activities—dance
parties, sports events—and provides meeting space for many
student groups throughout the term.
Student Support Services
York St. John provides its students with access to learning support,
with academic tutoring available for those who need help, as well as
general health and welfare services. All students are invited to use
the Counselling Service and Health Centre when they feel the need.
Chaplaincy and Spiritual Care
The Chaplaincy team at York St. John provide students of all beliefs
with sacred, quiet and prayer spaces, access to staff members who are
from the Baha’i, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Judaic, Muslim and
Sikh faiths, as well as connections to other local spiritual communities.
There is a daily Christian worship in the college chapel. The Chaplaincy
is funded by the College and the Diocese of York.
