EnglishWhat is SU @UCalgary (su.ucalgary.ca)?
Updated
su.ucalgary.ca is the website of the Students' Union (SU) at the University of Calgary — an undergraduate student association that publishes news, advocacy updates, election information, and job postings. It is the place to go if you want to know what the SU is currently saying or doing on behalf of undergraduates, rather than a general university services portal.
Who the SU represents
The SU describes itself as one of the leading undergraduate student associations in Canada. Its audience is undergraduate students at the University of Calgary; the site's content is framed around representing those students and advocating on their behalf.
What you'll find on the site
The homepage is organized as a news feed, with items grouped under categories such as Elections, News, Advocacy, Press-release, Jobs, and Work With Us. Recent examples from the site show the range of material:
| Category | Example item |
|---|---|
| Elections | Results announced for the 2026 SU by-election (October 8, 2026) |
| Elections | Notice of election for the 2026 by-election, listing offices to be filled (September 24, 2026) |
| Elections | Notice of nomination days, September 22–23, 2026 (September 8, 2026) |
| Advocacy | Recommendation to an AI expert panel that the university take a proactive approach to AI policy and training, rather than adopting AI "for adoption's sake" (September 23, 2026) |
| Advocacy | Request for student feedback ahead of tuition and fee consultations, following proposed 2027–28 increases (September 17, 2026) |
| Jobs | Posting for Manager, Student Services (September 29, 2026) |
Each item appears as a short excerpt with a "Read More" link, so the homepage works as an index rather than a full article page.
How to use it
- Following SU positions: The Advocacy and Press-release items are where the SU states its stance on issues such as AI policy and tuition. Read the full post via "Read More" before relying on the excerpt.
- Elections: Notices of election and nomination, plus results, are posted here. If you are considering running for a position or want to know which offices are being filled, the notices name the offices and the relevant dates.
- Feedback requests: When the SU asks for student input — as with the 2027–28 tuition and fee consultations — the news item is the entry point for finding out how to respond.
- Jobs: Openings such as the Manager, Student Services role are listed under Jobs / Work With Us.
What it is not
The site is a news and advocacy channel for the SU as an organization. The excerpts do not indicate that it hosts personal student accounts, course materials, or university administrative services; for those, you would use University of Calgary systems rather than the SU site. The available material also gives no information on pricing or login requirements for anything on the site, so treat access terms as unconfirmed unless stated on the page itself.
