GOVERNANCE

Subject to the provisions of Bill 184, College and University Student Associations Act, 2011, and as aligned with common practice in post-secondary student associations across Ontario and Canada, the Graduate Student Society of the University of Windsor has a dynamic membership base, which changes each semester.

At the end of each semester, all members that are not expected to meet the criteria for membership in the subsequent semester then cease to be members of the GSS.

At the beginning of each new semester, membership of each registrant is automatically assessed by the University, based on program enrollment, and those meeting the criteria will be then automatically granted membership and the University will collect membership fees on behalf of the GSS.

There criteria include but are not limited to:

• individuals registered in a full-time or part-time graduate program in the Faculty of Graduate Studies at the University of Windsor for the specific semester in question;
• individuals who have paid membership fees to the GSS through the University tuition collections process for the specific semester in question; and
• individuals that have been expelled or whose membership has been revoked, by the GSS Board of Directors adopting a special resolution to that effect in a general meeting.

Please refer to the GSS Constitution within the Official Documents page for complete details.
