Do I have to pay a fee to join the alumni site?

A: No. The site is totally free to join if you are alumnus or friend of the University.


Can I register as an alumnus/alumna even if I have failed to get a degree, or have not studied on a degree course?

A: Yes. You can register as a Hull alumnus/alumna even if you have not been awarded a degree, or if you have been studying on a non-degree course. You just need to meet the normal requirements for alumni status. These are to have matriculated, or to have studied or been engaged in research at the University or one of its Faculties or Departments for a minimum period of 3 months.

What is the Annual Appeal Fund?

A: The Annual Appeal Fund is a relatively new venture which was launched as a means of providing vital financial support to the University at a time when fewer resources are being directed into higher education. This annual appeal, sometimes by letter and sometimes by telephone, offers our graduates one way to demonstrate their gratitude to the University and their wish for its future success by making a charitable donation.

What have the funds, raised for the Annual Appeal Fund, been used for so far?

A: Disbursements have been made to the Student Hardship Fund, to help Students with Disabilities and for Scholarships. The Annual Fund has helped to support many projects.

Can I make a donation to a specific department?

A: Yes. We prefer donations to the Annual Appeal Fund to be unspecified, which means we are able increasingly to shape our future in a manner most suited to our needs, and less focused in specific government funds and research grants. However, if you request that your donation goes to a specific department or project, we will honour your request and ensure that it reaches your chosen purpose.

How do I give my feedback on the Alumni website?

A: Send your comments to the webmaster: Alumni@hull.ac.uk
