Student societies are independent organizations at the University of Toronto. While the the Office of the Vice-Provost, Students is pleased to be able to offer advice regarding referendum questions to societies when such advice is requested, the societies themselves ultimately bear responsibility for their referendum questions and their operations.

Student societies are not obliged to implement any of the changes recommended by our office. The Office of the Vice-Provost, Students does not vet or approve referendum questions, merely reviews them to offer advice regarding clarity and compliance with the relevant policies and guidelines, where possible.
