Student Activity Space Committee

Student representatives--four in total--are nominated or appointed by the University of Toronto Students Union (UTSU), Association of Part-time Undergraduate Students (APUS) and Graduate Students Union (GSU). Nominations for three additional students are received and assessed by the Vice-Provost Students in December of each year.  Students will be selected to represent broad student interests.

CASAS meets in March/April to review applications and allocate the space for a one-year term.  For more information on the application process, visit club office space.

Historical context for CASAS In 1999, the University had a Task Force on Student Activity Space examine the issues surrounding space availability for three main areas of student activity: campus groups, student societies and multi-faith needs. One of the outcomes of the task force's report was to strike a committee to allocate the determined space. It was named the Committee for the Allocation of Student Activity Space (CASAS). CASAS today allocates the 50+ shared office spaces available in the 21 Sussex Clubhouse.
