When do annual memberships start?
All USFS and UDFSC memberships start on July 1 and end on June 30th, regardless of when you enroll as a member. Open enrollment begins on June 1 each year and continues throughout the year. Renewal period opens on June 1st and ends July 31st. Any renewals after July 31st are subject to a late fee, but new members may join any time without a late fee.
Who is eligible for the introductory membership?
A person who has never been a member of US Figure Skating at any time, except as a Basic Skills/Learn to Skate member, may join at the introductory discounted rate. Introductory members receive all the benefits of a full home club member, including membership in USFS, Skating Magazine, testing privileges at UDFSC rates, Club Ice privileges at UDFSC. After the first year, Introductory members renew at the regular home club membership rate.
How does the collegiate membership work?
Any college student enrolled in a matriculated program of study my join UDFSC at the four year collegiate membership rate which is a savings of 50%. Students may be enrolled in any year of their studies and receive a four year membership regardless of their graduation year. Collegiate members do not renew until their four year membership expires, but we do ask that they keep the Club current with contact information and emails. Proof of college attendance is required by UDFSC and USFS. A copy of transcripts, semester bill or other proof of enrollment is required upon first enrollment only. Since this is a reduced rate, second family members to a collegiate member are not eligible for the reduced subsequent family member rate. They will need to enroll as a full home club member, unless they too are attending college and eligible for the collegiate rate for themselves.
What is an associate membership?
An Associate membership is available to persons who are members of other skating clubs as home club members, but they skate or train at the University of Delaware. In order to represent the University of Delaware on a synchronized skating team, either a home club or associate membership is required. An Associate member is able to test at UDFSC sessions without the non-member fee for the test.
How do I change my membership to UDFSC if I am a home club member at another figure skating club?
If you start your membership for the new year during the enrollment period July 1st, you may change your home club simply by completing a UDFSC application online and paying the membership dues. However, if you have joined another home club and want to change mid-year, you must notify the Membership Chair of your current Home Club to request the Change of Home Club through the USFS database. Competitive skaters may not change Home Clubs until the competitive season is completed. UDFSC will be notified of the change. Enroll with UDFSC by selecting the membership type “Mid-Season Transfer Home.”

Please email the Membership Chair regarding any extenuating circumstances that may warrant consideration for refund. Decisions will be made on a case by case basis.Requests for refund of membership fees made later than 30 days after enrollment will not be considered.
