Quarterly Budget Reports
The UBC Commerce Undergraduate Society provides Sauder undergraduate students with social and professional growth opportunities through more than 30 Service Lines, which constitutes the Service Council. Entirely run by students, each Service Line reaches out to fellow students by hosting conferences, workshops, competitions, or social events. These programs are made possible by the CUS Service Council, Executives, and the Board of Directors. In these annual reports, you will find financial information outlining the achievements and challenges for the Service Council.
Student Fees
The building users fund is contributed to by all Sauder students as part of an agreement between the CUS and the Sauder faculty. The fund’s primary use is to pay off the mortgage for the Henry Angus building as part of a multi-year agreement. Apart from the mortgage, the building users fund is also responsible for general maintenance, improving accessibility, cleanliness, and quality of life for students through upgrades to the existing building. The amount for the building users fund in the 2024/25 academic year totals to $658.40, and is subject to change after the nearing completion of the building’s mortgage.
Sauder students completing a work term as part of the co-op program are eligible for a $100 refund per term spent in co-op (Fall or Winter only, Summer terms not included). The Finance Portfolio works alongside the BCC to compile a list of eligible students from which refunds will be automatically processed. If you participated in a co-op term prior to January 2021, please contact vpfinance@cus.ca along with your name, phone number, and screenshot of proof (SCC or other co-op materials) to have your refund manually processed. Please direct all questions regarding this matter to vpfinance@cus.ca
