Track every club against your compliance requirements with statuses that update themselves

Compliance

What the Compliance module does, how statuses derive themselves, and the two-step setup

Getting started with Compliance

The three item types (forms, training, executive team), their settings, and open dates and deadlines

Adding compliance items

What each status means, why cells aren't clickable, and how the yearly reset and compliance tags work

Understanding compliance statuses

Targeting clubs by compliance status: one-off sends and the automatic 3-day/1-week/2-week reminder sequence

Emailing clubs about compliance

The automatic tags the Compliance module maintains on clubs — what they mean, where they appear, and why you can't edit them

Memberships

Getting Started with Memberships

A Digital Membership Pass gives your members a convenient way to access and display their membership directly from their phone.

Members can add their pass to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet and use it to verify their membership, access member benefits, or identify themselves at events.

When a member joins your club, they'll receive a text message with a link to download their digital membership pass.


Setting Up a Digital Membership Pass

Adding and Managing Members

Membership Deals allow your club to offer exclusive discounts and special offers to your members.

You can create deals with local businesses, campus services, or other merchants and share them with your members through Rubric.

Creating Membership Deals

Events

Events are a great way to bring your club or student organization's community together, whether you're organising a social event, dinner, party, ball, or another activity.

Rubric allows you to create and publish events, manage ticket sales, set ticket restrictions, collect information from attendees, and promote your event with a shareable link or QR code.

Getting Started with Events

Once you’ve created an event, you can manage your event, tickets, attendees, and other event-related activities directly from the Events section of your Rubric account.

Managing Events & Tickets

Collaborative Events allow you to create and manage an event with other clubs or societies, whether they’re from your university or another institution.

The hosting club creates and manages the event, while collaborators can access the event and view ticket information.

Creating a Collaborative Event

Recurring Events let you create multiple instances of the same event series at once, rather than creating each event individually.

For example, you could use a recurring event for a weekly club meeting, a daily orientation session, or any event that takes place on multiple dates.

Link In Bio

Your club’s Link In Bio is the central hub for your club or society. It gives students one place to discover your club, learn more about your activities, and access your events, memberships, merchandise, news, social media, and other important links.

Club executives with access to the Link In Bio can customise their page and add or manage content directly from their club account.

Event Approval

News Approval in Rubric gives administrators more control over the news published by clubs on campus. Clubs can create news articles directly through Rubric, while administrators can review submissions before they are made public.

Approved news can be showcased on the public news page and on each club’s Link In Bio, giving students a central place to discover campus updates, announcements, and stories.

The Reports section gives you access to insights and data across your Rubric modules - from club activity to events and beyond.
