Society Resources

Societies have a number of resources to support their operations on campus. The following are some of the services available for you:

Liability Insurance:

SMUSA acquires Liability Insurance to protect Officers and Directors of the Association and Societies and SMUSA extends this insurance coverage to societies that are duly ratified and have completed the Student Event Risk Management (SERM) process.

Office Space:

SMUSA has a limited amount of office space available to societies. Societies must apply for office space by completing the application form.

Society Funding:

SMUSA provides societies with funding assistance to help them in organizing their events. To apply for funding you must complete the application.

Society Mail Boxes:

Every society has access to a mail box located behind the Information Desk in the Student Centre. When a society is activated for the new academic year, they can retrieve their mail during regular operating hours of the Information Desk. Simply ask the desk attendant and they will get your mail for you.

Email Accounts:

All ratified societies can obtain a SMU email account from ITSS under their society name. Please visit the ITSS Front Desk on the second floor of Loyola for instructions on how to set up a society email account.

Web Space:

Another service from ITSS is free web hosting for ratified societies. If you are thinking of designing a website for your society and would like to utilize your free web space on the Husky1 server, please visit the ITSS Front Desk in Loyola for instructions.

SMUSA Page:

The SMUSA page is located on the inside cover of The Journal. Societies can place advertisements and announcements on the SMUSA page for free! If your society would like to make a submission to the SMUSA Page, please contact the SMUSA Marketing Department before the Friday preceding the next issue of the Journal.

Photocopying:

Each SMUSA society is entitled to free photocopying using the Society Photocopier on the fifth floor of the Student Centre. Societies are allowed a maximum balance per month, and are required to keep a log of their photocopying. Access to the Society photocopier can be obtained from the SMUSA front desk on the fifth floor.
