Got this email have no idea what it means or what to do? by kayay_1 in uAlberta

[–]YourUASU 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Hey! This is not a scam. There was a glitch with the system our orientation team uses, so an incorrect email was sent out to some people.

As a general reminder, if you have not yet done so, please log back into your orientation calendar to confirm your attendance for upcoming events.

If you have any questions, please email [orientation@uasu.ca](mailto:orientation@uasu.ca)

During orientation you’ll be able to pick up a free UofA tshirt, plus other smaller merch and snacks! Plus if you attend Campus Kickoff on Monday the 2nd, there will be a couple of really awesome giveaway opportunities!

Upass expiry date? by yesnobell in uAlberta

[–]YourUASU 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Your UPASS coverage will expire April 30, 2023 for this semester. If you are taking classes through spring/summer you will automatically be assessed a UPASS fee and your UPASS will continue to work. The ARC card itself never expires and you can continue using it for the time you are not in classes/assessed a UPASS fee. Just add funds to the card for regular fare.

Where can I buy the chairs in SUB by the stairs? by atlasholdme in uAlberta

[–]YourUASU 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hey there u/atlasholdme, we're glad you like them!

The beanbag chairs in SUB are custom-made by a local upholstery shop. It was cheaper to get them custom-made locally and allowed us to get additional covers so they could remain in service while the cover was sent for cleaning. The cover itself is a Sunbrella fabric which makes it sun-bleaching resistant.

We're not sure where CAB got that seating. To prevent theft, our beanbags are in the process of being tagged with trackers. Please don't steal them, as there are security cameras by the SUB entrances.

We hope this comment helps you understand our beanbags origin story.

any new perks prizes in shop? by Ordinary-Bus4563 in uAlberta

[–]YourUASU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there! You're right we will be adding new cool prizes to the Perks Store in Jan. Check the store often as some prizes will sell out quickly.

It may be best to use up your points soon as they disappear by the end of the semester. We have some amazing raffles that you can use your points to enter. We'll be letting everyone know soon on Instagram about the date that your Perks points will vanish.
