Its predecessor union was known as '''Cambridge University Students' Union''' or '''CUSU''' until its dissolution in July 2020.<ref name="welcome">{{Cite web|url=https://www.cambridgesu.co.uk/news/article/jobs/Welcome-we-are-your-new-Students-Union/|title=Welcome, we are your new Students' Union!|website=Cambridge SU|language=en-US|access-date=2020-07-13}}</ref> Cambridge SU should not be confused with the [[Cambridge Union Society]] (often referred to as simply 'the Union'); membership of both is open to all students at Cambridge, but the Cambridge Union Society is a private society, whereas all students at the University of Cambridge are automatically members of Cambridge SU (although they can opt-out), and Cambridge SU is partially funded by grants from the university. Until 2020, graduate students at the University of Cambridge were eligible for membership of CUSU as well as the [[University of Cambridge Graduate Union]], specifically for graduate student affairs. In November 2019, students voted by referendum to dissolve both CUSU and the Graduate Union to form one student union, Cambridge SU.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cusu.co.uk/2019/11/22/cambridge-students-voted-yes-to-a-new-single-students-union/|title=Cambridge Students voted yes to a new single students’ union – CUSU|website=CUSU|language=en-US|access-date=2019-11-22}}</ref> The new single Students' Union was established on 13 July 2020.<ref name="welcome" />
