Referendum
The Capilano Students’ Union (CSU) is dedicated to enhancing the student experience by advocating for meaningful changes on campus. One of the ways we achieve this is through student referendums—an opportunity for students to have a direct say in important decisions that impact their education, services, and campus life. Through referendums, students can vote on key issues such as funding for student services, new initiatives, or changes to CSU fees. Your voice matters, and participating in these votes helps shape the future of the CSU.
