UASU Student Handbook

This is your survival guide.

Your Year. Your Union. Your Guide.

This survival guide is brought to you by your UASU, one of the many things we offer to help you have a great year. It's your official "cheat sheet" for surviving and thriving at the U of A.

Keep a copy of the handbook to help you:

  • Master the map: Navigate campus and your Faculty like a pro.
  • Stay in the loop: Never miss important dates, deadlines, and events.
  • Know your Union: Understand where your fees go, and how we work for you.
  • Find your people: Get involved, make friends, and build a life outside the library.
  • Stay balanced: Connect with the best resources for your success and well-being.
