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 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 YUSC building – with the exception of student services – must reapply each year.

Office allocations are determined by allocation committee comprised of the YUSC Chairperson, YUSC Executive Director, YUSC Executive Officer, YUSC Clubs and Services Representative and YFS President or YFS VP Equity and Services.
