GSA will not offer Subscriptions in 2012

Posted in: Subscriber Benefits, News
Due to the likely introduction of a compulsory Student Amenities Fee in 2012, GSA will no longer offer Subscriptions. All GSA services, benefits and events will be available to all graduate students at the cheapest possible rate. The previous discounts offered as part of GSA Subscriptions (including the bookstore) will no longer apply and will no longer be available.

An announcement on Lockers will be made shortly in GSAnews.

GSA Response to the University Proposal for the Allocation of the Student Services and Amenities Fees

Posted in: Graduate Issues & Campaigns, News
Important Information for all Graduate Students

Next year every student will be charged an amenity fee of $263.

By now you will have received the University's email with details as to how it intends to spend the money raised.

GSA is critically concerned that the University's proposed spending will put graduate student's welfare at risk.

GSA seeks your help to ensure that this money is spent appropriately.
