Our Mandate

The Okanagan College Students’ Union operates under three specific mandates. We aim to ensure that post-secondary education is of high quality, publicly funded, and we hold education decision makers and stakeholders accountable to students. OCSU strives to achieve these goals through providing the students of Okanagan College with advocacy, services, and events.

ADVOCACY

  • Lobbying government officials
  • Lobbying college administrators
  • Providing support with grade appeals and academic & non-academic challenges

SERVICES

  • Free supplies like handbooks, water bottles, and pens
  • Safer sex supplies, menstrual hygiene products, and hand sanitizer
  • Extended Health & Dental benefits for eligible students
  • Local & BC-wide student discounts
  • Subsidual services such as legal aid

EVENTS

  • Fostering campus community
  • Promoting stress relief and mental health on campus
  • Education about important campaigns and causes
  • Empowering students
  • Free food

Statement in Support of Equality & Human Right of Our LGBTQ2S+ Students

The Okanagan College Students’ Union stands in solidarity and allyship with our members, and all people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, gender queer, two-spirit, and all other non-bianary identities. We see you, you are valid, you are important, you are loved.

We know and believe that all human beings have a right to safe spaces, to dignity, and equality; especially those whose rights may be more easily violated, ignored, or not fulfilled. The OCSU denounces any action that diminishes the integrity and human rights of any person, and will always advocate to protect and preserve the rights of vulnerable members in our community and society.
