The Federal Election is September 20 and your vote matters! The AU student body vote brings weight to issues your President and Vice-President External discuss with Members of Parliament and government officials. By voting, you make it easier to advocate for lowering interest on loans, increasing bursaries, expanding job programs, and more!

Originally proposed by AUSU, Athabasca University has announced they will move forward with a Temporary Compassionate Grading Policy.
As part of ongoing efforts to support students with mental health and wellness, and to address the impacts of COVID-19, a flexible grading option will be available for any one course per academic year.
The policy is open to both undergraduate and graduate students. It is temporary and will be applicable to courses taken between March 1, 2020, and December 31, 2021. A review of the policy will take place in November 2021 to determine if it will continue further.
