UC Students' Association

UCSA is the University of Canterbury Students' Association Inc. We're a not-for-profit organisation with charity status. Established in 1894, we're a grand-old institution dedicated to supporting students to succeed and belong at UC. We dish up a range of student-focused services, including: advocacy and welfare; subsidised dental and optometry; early learning centres; club support; events; media and even some great cafes and bars. With all this going on, we've grown into a diverse organisation with an annual turnover of around $10.0 million. The UCSA owns a 50% share of the University Book Shop, and has net assets valued at just over $12.0 million. The UCSA is based on the second level of Haere-roa, 90 Ilam Road.
