How is the AUS different from the SSMU?
The Students’ Society of McGill University represents all undergraduate students at McGill’s downtown campus, and every undergraduate student is automatically a member. The SSMU is larger and has much more money than the AUS. It represents general undergraduate student interests to the university and to the government. It provides services and facilities to students across all faculties, such as clubs, a student bar, and a daycare. As the largest faculty association, the AUS has a significant say in SSMU policy. It sends three representatives to sit on SSMU Council: the VP External and the two Arts Representatives to SSMU Council.
