Playstation 5 Console Lending Program

The Alexander College Student Association (ACSA) supports many initiatives and a major one is gaming access for our student body. We offer students the amazing opportunity to access the PlayStation 5 console, Monday to Friday, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm. In order to check out the Playstation 5 console, students must visit the SA DIV Frontdesk located inside the Library. Students must be registered for the current term, and prove that by providing their AC Student ID. Once that has been confirmed, students may leave either their AC Student ID or one piece of Government ID with the SA Frontdesk in order to check out the Play Station 5 console. Upon returning the Play Station 5 console, students will be given back their ID.

Borrowing Video Games

AC students are permitted to borrow video games for the PlayStation 5 console from the AC library. Students must provide either a form of government ID or their AC Student ID with their student number on it when borrowing a video game. Students are permitted to borrow a video game for either 3 or 7 days depending on the game. Please visit the library page: https://alexandercollege.ca/student-success/library/borrowing-services/#loanperiods for more information.

Sporting Activities

ACSA regularly offers students a number of means to pursue their sporting interests. Students can participate in community sports by joining ACSA members within local intramural leagues, planned sporting events at local gyms (for example, basketball, badminton, soccer, bowling, billiards, and yoga), as well as many excursions into Vancouver’s exciting outdoors in sports such as hiking, skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing.

Other sport-related activities include attending local games and matches, including hockey, football, and soccer games – something that is a regular and dynamic part of living in Canada.

Activities & Experiences

Life in Canada is full of celebration and things to do. On campus, ACSA offers numerous cultural celebrations and parties. Hence, providing students with the opportunity to experience Canadian culture, and share and celebrate their own cultural heritages with staff, faculty and their fellow students.

As new interests emerge from our student body, ACSA responds with new programs and activities. Off campus, ACSA regularly organizes excursions for skiing or snowboarding at Whistler, hiking in the mountains, visiting cultural landmarks and museums, exploring local restaurants and clubs, and participating in sporting events.

There is much to do around Vancouver, and ACSA is the perfect gateway to help you explore and enjoy!
