The University of Canterbury Students' Association (UCSA) is a student organisation associated with the University of Canterbury[6] in New Zealand, established in 1894.[7]
Organisation
USCA is funded by students and is governed by a constitution through 12 elected representatives. Since its inception the Association has grown into a diverse organisation with an annual turnover of around $7.0 million, approximately half of which is catering-related, and approximately 15% of which is derived from student membership levies.
The UCSA office is currently situated in the James Hight Building following the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, after which the UCSA Building was deemed unsafe.[8] The Undercroft was redeveloped as a student space, and work is currently being undertaken to replace the facilities and services that were on offer in the old UCSA building.
The association provides services ranging from an Early Learning Centre to a Chaplaincy team through to student bars and cafes; from Student Job Search to places to spend free time by way of the 120 clubs and societies.
The UCSA operates a number of other facilities spread around the campus including The Foundry Bar and Bentleys, cafes in the Law (Alibi), Engineering (Eng Cafe) and James Hight Library (Shilling Club, The Burg, The Wok, Cafe 1894, Chilton's, The Greek, Cut Lunch) buildings and in the temporary Kirkwood Village (The Shed) as well as Collective (a cafe and support centre for students based at the Dovedale Ave campus). A second Early Learning Centre is situated on the corner of Montana & Ilam Roads.[9]
Students can receive academic advice and support through the Education Team, and social comment and entertainment by way of UCSA's media: Canta magazine. The association also runs other events[10] like Orientation,[11] Winterlude[12] and the End of Lectures Tea Party.[13]
Clubs
One of the many roles of the UCSA is to coordinate with Canterbury University clubs such as ENSOC and the Canterbury University Tramping Club. The organization provides services such as advertising, facilities and grants to clubs.
