More Info

Student Union elections take place in March annually. Any unfilled positions and the 1st year representative are elected in October of the following school year.

The elections are mediated and run by the Chief Returning Officer (CRO). The CRO supervises all the election operations, ensuring that the voting and counting are done effectively and fairly. Candidates look to the CRO as the ultimate arbiter of fairness in the campaign.

OCAD SU, as the recognized representative of the student body serves as liaison to OCADU administration and faculty, other universities and colleges, all levels of government, and the Canadian Federation of Students. OCADSU is responsible for ensuring the proper representation and advocacy of the OCADU student body at large.

The Student Union is a not-for-profit corporation funded by student fees. The Executive manages the business of the corporation on behalf of the student members, working hard to ensure that OCAD SU provides as much service to students as possible.
