Joining the Club
All Club showings are free and open to the public. In order to access the Club’s lending library, though, you must register as a member. (More information on library access, including title listings, availability information, and check-out rules, can be found on the library page.
Because we are a UT student organization, we can only offer memberships to currently enrolled students of UT and to current UT staff and faculty. Students must present a photo ID and a current UT registration fee receipt as proof of enrollment; faculty and staff must provide a photo ID and their most recent UT pay receipt. (Alternatively, you can log in to the UT Direct service and show us your current student/employee status. Computers are available at Club meetings for this purpose.)
While University regulations prohibit us from admitting non-UT-affiliated members, our public anime screenings are always open to the public, as is our mailing list. We encourage you to bring friends and family (as long as they are interested in anime or are a least willing to give it a try, of course)!
Membership sign-ups take place during the library break each week during the Spring and Fall semesters. (There are at present no library check-outs or membersihp sign-ups during the Summer session, although we do hold weekly screenings year-round.) To remain a member in good standing, you must pay an annual, non-refundable membership fee; additionally, you may have up to three (3) refundable library deposits on record. Library deposits carry over from semester to semester, and may be refunded upon request (provided that your membership is in good standing and you do not have any discs currently checked out). Library deposits are forfeit if not claimed within two years of leaving the Club. (For more details, refer to the Bylaws of the Club.)
The current fees for memberships and deposits are:
| New Member | Returning Member | |
| Long Session (Fall + Spring) | $10 | $8 |
| One Semester Only | $5 | $4 |
For any member (new or returning, media deposits are $10 each (with a limit of three deposits per account).
Volunteering as Staff
If you are interested in joining the Officers and Staff of the Club, please talk to the Club President or Vice President at one of the meetings, or email us to discuss ways to help out. We’d love to have you aboard!
Joining (or Leaving) the Mailing List
The Anime Club maintains an electronic mailing list (administered by the UT public list service and ITS) for use by its members, as well as for former members and non-members who share our interests. This list is typically very low-traffic (between one and a few messages per week), although it has been known to become quite busy at times. If you would like to join the list, please visit the UT Mailing List site at: https://utlists.utexas.edu/sympa/info/anime
Should you someday grow weary of this anime world, you can also choose to unsubscribe via that same online interface.
If you have not used the UT mailing list system before, then you will need to create a login. (You do not need to be a UT student or have a UT email address to do this; it is open to everyone.) See the UT List Service help section for further details.
If you encounter problems (for example, the links are not working for you, or you receive an error message that makes no sense), you can contact the list adminstrator directly at: anime-request@utlists.utexas.edu
Once you have successfully signed on to the list, you will receive an automated introductory message containing a summary of these instructions, as well as instructions on how to post your own messages to the list. If you do not receive such a message within a reasonable period of time (up to half a day), please contact the list administrator for assistance.
