Advocacy at AU
One of AUSU’s most important roles is to provide Advocacy for AU undergraduate students. AUSU advocates on behalf of all students at the provincial and national level, but we also provide advocacy at the University level, both on an individual basis and on behalf of all students.
If you are experiencing issues at AU that you would like assistance with, please feel free to contact us at admin@ausu.org. AUSU is always here to advocate on your behalf, or to provide you with information to assist you in your communications with the University.
Also, did you know that AUSU councillors sit on over 20 boards and committees at Athabasca University, where they actively advocate on your behalf? Here are just a few of the committees that AUSU represents you on:
– AU Board of Governors
– General Faculties Council
– Academic Excellence Awards Committee
– Student Academic Appeals Committee
– Student Experience Team
– Faculty Councils
– E-Text Advisory Committee
– .. and more!
