CASA believes it is essential that both student leaders and their constituents have a clear understanding of how membership fees are determined. To ensure transparency, CASA uses a simple formula outlined in its Operational Procedures. Fees are based on student enrolment figures from Statistics Canada's PSIS data and are set by student leaders at the CASA table.
A full member’s fees for the 2025-2026 fiscal year are calculated using the following formula:
|
Number of students |
Cost per full-time equivalent (FTE) student |
|
1 to 6,000 |
$4.16 |
|
6,001 to 12,000 |
$3.83 |
|
12,001 to 20,000 |
$3.54 |
|
20,001 and above |
$3.15 |
Membership fees shall be subject to a maximum of $67,647.47 and a minimum of $6,564.49 per fiscal year 2024-2025, subject to slight annual adjustments for inflation.
