Use the contact info above and let us know. If you are a levy paying Dalhousie student who has concerns about NSPIRG, we encourage you come come to our office to talk to us about the issue(s). If you wish to have your levy money refunded, we offer this possibility. There are 2 levy refund periods - one at the beginning of each school term. These periods are promoted through posters as well as advertisements in the Dalhousie Gazette. NSPIRG MEMBERSHIP:NSPIRG is entirely funded and directed by the students at Dalhousie University in collaboration and consultation with members of the broader HRM and NS communities. NSPIRG-Dal was created by a Dalhousie Student Union referendum in 1990 and since then receives funding via a $2 per term student levy for each full time student collected by the DSU. This fee is the membership fee for NSPIRG, however anyone has the option to 'opt-out' from membership and have their fees reimbursed. Membership gives you the right to run for a Dal student position on the NSPIRG Board of Directors (7 out of 10), apply for Working Group funding, and vote at General Meetings; the control of this organization is in the hands of Dal students. At present, NSPIRG and NSPIRG-Dal are largely synonymous as the rights mentioned are exclusive to Dalhousie student members. However, NSPIRG-Dal collaborates closely with students from the University of King's College and NSCAD, and with a burgeoning NSPIRG-SMU chapter at Saint-Mary's University. All together, and with our partners off campuses, we come to form the NSPIRG community.
