Student Societies

The SPSA provides support to students wishing to start or join a Society. A ratified Society will be provided services such as: advertising for events, booking space and funding opportunities. In order to promote or fundraise on campus you must be a ratified Society .

Why a Student Society?

“The Students’ Association are recognized by Saskatchewan Polytechnic as the official group representing students on campus. They are responsible for representing the interests of their student members to other stakeholders and the coordination, implementation and delivery of a variety of services and programs to support students. Groups of students are to form under the policies and guidance of the Students’ Association in accordance with the Agreement. All on-campus, non-academic activities initiated by students must be coordinated through the Students’ Association to ensure alignment with the Agreement, appropriate Saskatchewan Polytechnic and Students’ Association policies and insurance. The Students’ Association will not be held accountable for the activities of student groups who operate outside the boundaries of the Students’ Association policies.” – Saskatchewan Polytechnic and the Students’ Association Master Partnership Agreement.

What is a Student Society?

A Student Society is defined as a group of students registered in a program or department operated by or at Saskatchewan Polytechnic that has been ratified by the respective SPSA Campus Council. This definition includes groups of students with a specific special interest who are registered in a program or department at Saskatchewan Polytechnic.

Starting a Student Society

Any student group wishing to be considered for Student Society status must complete a Society Ratification Package and submit it to their respective Campus SPSA Office. This package includes:

  • Society Constitution Form
  • Society Waiver Form
  • Society Financial Signing Authority Form

Upon receipt of the Ratification Package at the SPSA Office, the SPSA VP Campus will present the information to the Campus Council for review and approval.

Renewing a Student Society

Any Student Society wishing to remain so after the academic year is complete must fill out a Re-ratification Form for their Society, and return it to their respective Campus SPSA Office. Re-ratification does not involve going to Campus Council.
