The safety of our university community is our top priority. Therefore, the GSA office will be closed effective March 17, 2020 until further notice as the GSA staff will start working remotely to limit the potential spread of COVID-19.

The GSA staff will be available via e-mail during our service hours (9:30 am to 4 pm, Monday to Friday) to answer questions. All GSA communication channels will be updated as usual with information about our service offerings. Many GSA services will remain accessible, but please note that there will be changes to how we deliver our programs and services due to remote work. Therefore, please be patient while we work on alternative delivery methods.

If you already bought tickets and haven’t picked them up, you can choose to get a full refund or get them mailed to you. If you are concerned about your discounted tickets’ expiry date, please contact events.gsa@ucalgary.ca.
