Purpose & mission
| This section contains wording that promotes the subject in a subjective manner without imparting real information. (September 2011) |
AUSU was formed in 1993 and was formalized as a registered Alberta society until students' unions in Alberta were granted recognition under the Post-Secondary Learning Act. On 13 September 2004 the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta approved an Order in Council incorporating the AUSU as "The Students' Association of Athabasca University,"[contradictory] for the purpose of providing student affairs and promoting the welfare of students. [citation needed]
The mission of the AUSU is to promote leadership, advocacy, a learning organization, responsibility, responsiveness and stewardship in the Athabasca University student committee. [1][failed verification]

The AUSU is not formally affiliated with any organization. In November, 2005 the organization parted ways with the Council of Alberta University Students to focus on other broader goals, along with promoting distance education.[neutrality is disputed]
97 people ran for 9 positions in the March 2008 council election. [2][failed verification][needs update]
Student groups
AUSU has established several clubs for students. Clubs currently sponsored by AUSU include the AU Health Sciences Society, La Société Française d'AU, the AU Literature Club, AU Business Students’ Association, AU Science Students' Society, AU Sports Club, and the AU Student Moms' Club. Student media at Athabasca University is provided by the official publication The Voice Magazine. Previously published on paper, the magazine since 2001 is published exclusively online in HTML and PDF format.
