Course Unions are the core of the Arts and Science Students’ Union. From A to Z, Anthropology to Women & Gender Studies and all the ones in between, these academic unions represent the students in disciplines within the Faculty of Arts and Science and by taking any course you are automatically a part of them. We have nearly 55 active Course Unions offering several academic and social services for their members. While each Course Union is unique, both in vision and in form, all share the common goals of meeting students’ needs and representing students’ views. Showing support for your Course Union is an excellent way to actively get involved with your education. Come to the ASSU office, or contact your course union directly to find out more about how you can get involved.
