Essential Student Group Policies & Links

UASU Student Group Services website

Our website is home to tons of resources and information. If you ever have questions about running your group, take a look through it! We've got information about registration, benefits, Clubs Fair, and more!

This page, managed by the Student Affairs Team in the Dean of Students' Office, covers everything you need to know about running student group events and includes a comprehensive list of policies you're expected to follow.

All student groups must complete GLO training as part of the registration process, but it’s also useful to return to these modules every once in a while to brush up on your skills! Visit the Canvas page to self enrol.

All student groups must complete EOT as part of the registration and event approval process. Visit the Canvas page to self enrol.

This platform hosts all registered student groups at the University of Alberta and allows them to submit events, registrations, run elections, apply for granting, track membership, etc. You can also find other groups and events by browsing the directories on our website.

This is a running list of all resources available to registered student groups, based on registration level. There are so many resources available on campus, and it can be challenging to remember who offers them, and how many are offered! Our hope is that this list can help introduce your group to all the perks, supports and resources available to you, and help clarify how to access them.

Student Group Services manages a variety of handbooks and templates, covering everything from registering your student group, to everyday operations, to transitioning to a new team. You can find out more about specific resources in this section.
