Who can join?

All full-time, part-time, and contractual professional and managerial employees of the University of Guelph are eligible to join the Professional Staff Association.

(Please note: Grant & Trust funded professional and managerial employees are considered a separate employee group by the University, and are therefore unfortunately ineligible to join the PSA.)
