2009 Operational & Financial Overview

University of Calgary Students’ Union

Of the Students’ Union approximate $16.5 million operating budget (2008), about $3.7 million of this revenue is received from student fees. This ratio changes yearly depending on the number of students enrolled in the university, but remains one of the lowest fee/levy to service/revenue of student organizations in Canada.

The majority of our revenue is generated through several successful business ventures, including:

  • MacEwan Conference & Events Centre;
  • Successful used bookstore/copy centre and convenience store;
  • Popular bar/restaurant/nightclub operation;
  • MacEwan Hall – our premiere concert venue for mid sized acts;


The SU employs approximately 55 full-time and up to 200 part-time employees, with an additional 200 - 300 volunteers who assist in many student programs.
