Statement to the Membership from the Board of Directors
Disclosure of Financial Statement as of December of 2011
The McMaster Association of Part-Time Students (MAPS) was established in 1979 to represent the interests of undergraduate part-time degree students and certificate/diploma students. All degree students enrolled in 17 or fewer units and all CCE students (regardless of course load) are members of MAPS.
Juggling home, work and school requires a great deal of organization and support, and it was in response to these particular needs that MAPS was first established. Our logo of three connecting chevrons is a stylistic conception of the interaction between those three major components of a part-time student's life.
What does MAPS do?
- Represents the needs and concerns of part-time students within various academic and administrative committees.
- Lobbies for increased course availability and accessibility
- Lobbies for extended services that include longer library, bookstore and cafeteria hours.
- Provides an office in the McMaster University Student Centre, Room 234, that stays open until 8:30 pm Monday to Thursday to accommodate evening students, where students can register for courses on SOLAR, and access personal academic and financial information on MUGSI

- Publishes a handbook that guides you through the University maze.
- Provides three computers in the office for part-time student use
