Compulsory Student Services and Amenities Fee Announced for 2012

ECU has announced today the anticipated Student Services and Amenities Fee for 2012. Here is what they had to say (excerpts):

The fee has been set at $100 per year for full-time students, $50 a year for part-time students, and $30 a year for off-campus students. The SSAF is lower at ECU than other universities in Western Australia.

Eligible students will be able to defer payment of the SSAF through the SA-HELP scheme.

The funds collected from the Student Services and Amenities Fee will be allocated to a range of services and expanded initiatives in areas including health, counselling, sport and recreation, social clubs and societies, student welfare, careers advice, student advocacy, orientation, and student representation. Some services will be provided through the Student Guild, others will be provided by the University. All fees, however, will be allocated entirely to student services and amenities.

Please get behind your CASSA club and help us gain access to these services. Your help in 2012 is going to be much appreciated!

Seat reservations

UPDATE 7/10 11.30pm: All reservation requests made after the last update till now have been noted on the signup sheet (separate to the layout below). The people at the admin desk should be able to sort you out. I have made slight changes to some people’s requests but it should only be a difference of no more than one seat. In most cases, you will be able to sit according to your preference. If any problems arise, don’t hesitate to ask the CASSA staff for help. Happy lanning!

Those of you that have paid online will most likely not have nominated a seat. So this post is to help you fix that.

This is the current layout as of 10pm 5/10:

(click for bigger. please note that this is just a seating guide and may not represent the actual layout on the day and only shows attendees who have selected a preferred seat.)

If you have paid, please leave a comment with your name, tag and group/preferred seat you want to be in. If you haven’t paid, please do the same and click here!

Just a clarification, you are able reserve a seat and turn up on the day and pay at the event. Attendees who have already paid however get priority and there are no guarantees you will get the seat you want.

New site features

You eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed that we now have a wiki (revived from the previous site), interactive calendar and forum. You can access any of these using the top navigation bar.

The forum requires a user account to post, but not to view. This account also allows you to post comments on news posts like this one. A user account is not needed for the wiki but is needed if you want editing rights. Since the wiki runs separate software, you can not use the same user account as the forum/main site.
