Check out our committee schedule and a description of what committees are. These are all open committees, so you can just pop on in!
We have board meetings two Mondays a month at 6pm, which are live streamed via our Facebook page. You can see past minutes and upcoming agendas, too.
We’re looking for many awesome volunteers throughout the year, and especially at the beginning of the term!
On May 8th, the UVic Senate will be voting on changes to the Academic Integrity Policy in response to generative AI. We understand the hard work and time UVic has put into these changes and know about the need to uphold academic integrity. However, the presented policy poses increased risk for students while weakening key protections.
In a recent UVSS Board Meeting, a member of the Board tried to pre-emptively bar a student from speaking during question period. This student attended the board meeting to inquire about proper conduct when interacting with students, specifically in relation to a concerning and hostile interaction with a member of the Board. Due to the behaviour of the board member towards the student, we want to formally apologize.
International Women’s Day (IWD) is a day of commemoration, resistance, and collective action rooted in feminist labour strikes and socialist feminist organizing. First observed in 1911, this day is a reminder that gender equity has always been fought for—never freely given.
Undergrad students who are members of the UVSS and are registered in at least 3 units of on-campus classes in September or January including co-op or distance students are automatically covered by the UVSS Enhanced Health & Dental Plan.
UVSS Members now have access to a flexible benefit model that offers students two different coverage options, the Enhanced Plan (higher coverage at higher cost) and the Basic Plan (lower coverage at lower cost).
Choose your coverage plan , mix and match portions of both, or opt out during the Change-of-Coverage Period each year.
