Update 07/01/2025: RMIT has recently upgraded their website to a new system and memberships are now purchased via the RMIT Store (previously RMIT Student Life). If you are NOT a student/staff member and previously had an account on RMIT Student Life, you must create a new account for the RMIT Store; note that your account on the ROC management site will stay the same and you will not lose your trip history.

However, some functionalities on the new RMIT Store website might not work as intended. If you encounter problems/bugs, please let us know at clubs@rmit.edu.au and we will try our best to assist. If you want to update your email, check this FAQ entry.

1. Go to Outdoors Club page on the RMIT Store website and scroll down to the box titled “Become a member”
   • RMIT Store coordinates all the RMIT Clubs & Societies. You will need to use this website to set up an account and pay your membership.
2. If you haven’t signed in yet, click the button in that box which says “Login or signup to join”. From there, either:
   • If you have a current student or staff RMIT account, choose the red “Login with an RMIT account” button and follow the prompts to log in via RMIT’s single sign on
   • If you were previously a ROC member while a student at RMIT but have since graduated/left, please see here: FAQ
   • If you are a member of the public and have an existing account, fill in your email and password and choose the blue “Sign in” button
   • If you are a member of the public and do not have an existing account, choose the “Create account” button and follow the prompts to create an account. Note that the email address you use will be the email to which you will receive communications about trips you sign up to. If prompted about whether you are a student, do NOT say “yes” if you are a student at any university except RMIT – student memberships purchased by non-RMIT students will be cancelled and refunded.
3. Once you’re signed in, go to the Outdoors Club page and once again scroll down to the box titled “Become a member”. Click on your preferred membership option, check the box agreeing to the club terms, and choose “Add to cart”.
4. Follow the prompts to finalise your purchase. Note that your membership is not yet active.
5. You will receive an email (either immediately or within 1-2 business days) requesting you to complete a form providing further membership details, such as an emergency contact. Please use the same email address as your RMIT Store account and take care to provide correct details, as failure to do so will delay the activation of your membership.
   • Our membership officers manually review these form submissions and activate each membership individually. It generally takes 1-3 business days for a membership to be activated after sending details through, but can take up to ten days after an influx of new members.
6. You will receive a confirmation email when your membership has been activated – time to sign up to some trips! 🙂

Having trouble?

• Try signing up on a computer – the RMIT Store website doesn’t always work well on mobile screens
• Try refreshing the page – if you’ve selected a membership type to purchase, then decide on a different one, refreshing is the only way to deselect your initial choice
• For issues signing up using the RMIT Store website, contact Sport & Recreation at clubs@rmit.edu.au
• Is your account still inactive? Upon paying your membership, you need to send your details to the club via the membership details form. Check your spam for an email titled “Welcome to the RMIT Outdoors Club – Membership Activation Required”
  • If you have already sent in your details, note that review and membership activation is a manual process and usually takes between 1-3 business days. Please feel free to reach out if it’s been longer than a week or if there is a specific trip coming up you want to sign up to.

• For any other enquires in regard to joining, you can email us at membership@roc.org.au
