Student Governance
All students registered in an undergraduate program on the Downtown (À¦°óSMÉçÇø) campus are registered members of the accredited Students' Society of À¦°óSMÉçÇø, affectionately known as SSMU. SSMU acts as your representation on key issues inside and outside of the campus. There are six elected executives of SSMU who represent all 20,000-plus undergrads on the Downtown campus. There is a legislative council that meets with representatives from faculty associations and other student groups around campus on a bi-weekly basis. This council of thirty-six members meets to discuss SSMU business.
SSMU operates close to 300 clubs and runs 15 student services; for more information, see . SSMU provides a great deal of extra-curricular opportunities for students to balance a life of study with a life of involvement, and an opportunity to meet other students. The organization also provides event programming like freshman orientation (Orientation Week/Frosh), Activities Night, a holiday fair, movie screenings, Homecoming Bash, concerts, and speakers. Each faculty and each department also has organizations dedicated to providing extra-curricular involvement for their students.
Situated on the Downtown campus, SSMU operates a five-floor building including a student lounge, cafeteria, campus bar, club office space, and a campus multipurpose venue.
SSMU offices are located at 3600 McTavish Street, suite 1200 and operate between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. during the year.
