January 27, 2026 - Update

The GSA elected council passed a resolution on January 21, 2026 to instate new bylaws of the organization that ensure compliance with the Post-Secondary Learning Act and the Labour Relations Code, while providing additional guard rails guaranteeing that the Association carries out its core functions:

1. To provide for the administration of Graduate Student affairs at the University of Calgary, including the development and management of Graduate Student committees, the development and enforcement of rules relating to Graduate Student affairs, and the promotion of the general welfare of the Graduate Students consistent with the purposes of the University of Calgary.
2. To fairly represent Academically Employed Graduate Students with respect to their rights under the Collective Agreement and with respect to collectively bargaining the terms of the Collective Agreement with the Governors.

In addition, the GSA is committed to maintaining essential services such as health and dental coverage and student grant programs.

We will continue to provide updates as policy and procedures are crafted to complement these bylaws on this webpage
