AUSU is located in NW103 (basement below The Speakeasy), and the office is open Monday and Friday by Appointment Only and Tuesday - Thursday 9am to 4pm. Lunch time varies.
The Algoma University Students’ Union (AUSU) is a not-for-profit corporation committed to ensuring that students’ university experience is fulfilling and enjoyable. AUSU exists to provide students representation and a variety of services to build a stronger Algoma University community. AUSU is an organization run by students for students, and works to ensure that students’ voices are recognized.
​
As a student of Algoma University, you are a general member of the Algoma University Students’ Union. AUSU Local 82 represents all students at Algoma University at bi-annual conferences organized by the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS). Your AUSU membership ensures your CFS membership, the lobbying organization that fights for post-secondary student issues, provincially and federally.

At Algoma U, AUSU is responsible for providing a voice to students, organizing and funding events on campus, including Orientation Week (jointly planned with Student Services), Frost Week, pub nights, and other fun activities. AUSU also provides student representation on most of the Algoma U bodies and committees, including the Board of Governors, Senate, and numerous Senate committees, including Academic Planning, Appeals, Curriculum, Student Services and Ethics.

AUSU services include the Student Health and Dental Plan, discounted bus passes, a mental health and wellness app for students called I.M. Well, ISIC student discount cards, locker rentals, The Sentient (Algoma University's student newspaper), the Students Helping Students Bursary, Algoma University's Food Bank, campus events and campaigns, campus club recognition and funding, and the student handbook.
​
At the end of each academic year, a new student Board of Directors is elected by the students to head the operations and organization of AUSU. Elections are held between February and March of each year, and new elected members begin their one-year term starting in May.
