The SCSU successfully lobbied the University of Toronto Administration to install power plugs in the S-wing, which was completed last year. The SCSU had requested Administration to install power plugs in the H-wing; these will be completed soon. 

As promised, many students expressed a need for increased resources of course textbooks available on campus. As such, the SCSU partnered with publishing companies in order to gather course textbooks on a reserve system. The service is available to students Mondays from 12-7pm, and Tuesdays to Fridays from 10-7pm. The procedure involves a simple deposit of your T-Card,  which allows students to take the course textbook on reserve for 3-4 hours in the Scotia bank Room, SL -234.

If you would like more information on this service, please email Aisha Khaja.  

Writing Centre hours of operations, and the availability of appointments proved to be a concern for students at UTSC. As such, the SCSU and the Writing Centre collectively arranged for a schedule to meet student’s academic concerns. Now, the Writing Centre has increased hours of operation and number of appointments that are available for students.  

The SCSU gathered Academic Amnesty for all classes for the day of action on November 5th 2009, through the cooperation of the administration. 

In the past, there was limited collaboration between the Student Union and the Departmental Student Associations on campus. The SCSU recognizes this to problematic for students and now holds regular DSA Council meetings. These meetings allow DSAs an avenue to update and collaborate with the surrounding UTSC community. Students are more than welcome to attend any of these meetings. The SCSU also has an official DSA Council Institution, which has been signed by all of the DSA Presidents on campus, in order to further formalize this council. 

The SCSU has worked closely with the administration, faculty and staff to have exam schedules released in mid -October as opposed to the usual mid-November. The SCSU is hoping for an early release of exam schedules during the final exam period as well. 

SCSU projects in the works include course syllabus repository, exam database, research opportunities, study space, production of the anti-calendar, and much more.
