As we adjust to the ongoing changes of the pandemic, the CSA Executives want to better understand what supports you are looking for with return to campus and where we should focus our advocacy efforts. We'd like to ensure that we are accurately advocating for you, and this works best when we know directly what our students are feeling.
The CSA and GSA ran a joint referendum on the Universal Bus Pass in Fall 2021. The joint referendum passed and therefore the Universal Bus Pass fee will be charged to all University of Guelph main campus students for the Winter 2022 semester, and UPass service will resume January 1, 2022.
The results of the referendum are joint. For transparency, the CSA and GSA individual voting results are presented below.
A message from the coordinator: Hi everyone! My name is Kandace and I am the new FoodBank Coordinator for the 2021 - 2022 school year. Many of you have met me already, and I’m looking forward to getting to know all of you throughout the semester. I am excited to be part of the team here at the Guelph Student FoodBank and wanted to reiterate that my primary role here is to provide support to you, our lovely visitors.
On behalf of the Central Student Association, we are looking forward to the upcoming Fall 2021 semester. We hope everyone continues to remain safe and healthy over the coming academic year!
What happened to our bus pass?
We currently don’t have one. This is due to our previous contract with Guelph Transit expiring on April 30, 2021. For more information, please click here.

Earlier this month, the heartbreaking news of the hidden deaths and mass graves of 215 Indigenous children at the Kamloops Residential School in British Columbia was brought to the attention of non-Indigenous people across the country. This is tragic news to many of us on this land, however, for our Indigenous communities - this has been confirmation of what has been known all along.
