Office Space

York University Student Centre (YUSC) has a limited number of office spaces available for student clubs and organizations officially recognized by the office of Student Community and Leader Development (SC&LD) and/or the York Federation of Students (YFS). There are more student clubs and organizations than available office spaces. Since office space is in high demand, it is allocated annually. All clubs/organizations interested in obtaining an office must fill out an Office Application Form. Clubs/organizations that currently have an office in the First Student Centre or the Second Student Center buildings – with the exception of student services – must reapply each year.

Criteria:

Recognition by the office of Student Community & Leadership Development (SC&LD) and/or the York Federation of Students (YFS)
Club activity adherence to the YUSC, SC&LD, other York University policies, and applicable civil regulations
Services provided to York community and external community
Regular use of office (if applicable)
Accessibility needs for members with disabilities
Size of membership
Any extenuating circumstances that were specified on the application form for the committee to consider. Please note: membership size, activity or intended use of space does not qualify as extenuating circumstance.
Other such criteria as determined by YUSC

To ensure that applications are reviewed in an objective and fair manner they are evaluated primarily on a matrix system which weights events quantitatively to develop quantitative comparators. Other qualitative information is used as a secondary consideration only.
