Becoming a DOS member is easy and free of charge for all Dalhousie students! Please fill out the form and sign our year-long waiver below. This waiver encompasses the vast majority of activities DOS participates in, but additional DSU waivers may be required for higher risk events. You must be a member to participate in DOS trips and make use of the gear library!
Note: memberships expire on April 30th of each year, and must be renewed to continue accessing DOS services.
