Ancillary Services

The University of Guelph’s ancillary service units provide important support services that are not directly associated with the delivery of academic programs. Ancillaries are self-sustaining operations with the mandate to run as independent units. Revenue is mainly earned on a fee-for-service basis from both internal clients (students and employees) and the public through events and retail services.

The University’s four ancillary service units are:

• Student Housing Services – with Residence Life staff reporting to the Student Affairs department.
• Hospitality Services, including Retail Services, Conference Services, Concessions, Vending and the University Centre Club
• Parking and Sustainable Transportation Services
• Mail Services

Aligning these units under ancillary services helps streamline operations, allowing units to leverage complementary supports.
