At the heart of UMSU are the over 110 student groups and services that provide students with cultural, religious, political and recreational programs, which range from dance and photography to environmental and social justice.

With such a diversity of groups, you are bound to find a group that matches your interests.

Student Group Assistance

There are a number of ways UMSU can assist your student group: it can arrange meeting and storage space, mailboxes, access to ticket selling at Answers, and official UMSU student group status. Recognised student groups may apply for special event funds and office space. Student groups serve a variety of interests and needs including various hobby, sport, religious, political, social, ethnic and cultural activities.

Student Group Recruitment Days

If you want to get more involved within the University, look for Student Group Recruitment Days to be held September 21 - 25, and January 11-14 in University Centre. Sign up for the group of your choice and enhance your university experience.
