Membership
We understand that our members are students living on limited budget. That's why we are comitted to bringing the cost to as low as possible. Through our fundraising effort, we are able to bring the total cost to half.
The UART is reserved for students at the UofA only (valid student ID). Alumni and staff are referred to community rowing counterpart, the Edmonton Rowing Club.
