The Students' Union (webpage: http://ursu.uregina.ca), an organization incorporated under the Non-Profit Corporations Act of Saskatchewan, is an autonomous body that represents students to the University, the city, and the government. The Students' Union also offers services to students to improve the quality of their lives while they attend the University.
The Students' Union collects fees from all students enrolled in a course of at least one credit hour per semester. Fees are pro-rated for students taking one to seven credit hours per semester. Students enrolled in eight or more credit hours per semester pay full fees. Students enrolled only in off-campus courses pay no fees. These fees are used to operate the various programs.
