The Ryerson Students' Union (RSU) is the students' union that represents full-time undergraduate and graduate students at Ryerson University. All full-time students are required to be members and pay a levy. This money is used to fund student groups, events for students and campaigning.

The Board
The Board of Directors set the direction and the executive manage the day-to-day operations of the corporation. Students elect 3 to 7 members from each faculty, depending on the size of the faculty, to the board, in addition to student representatives from the University's Senate, student groups, course unions and residence.

Equity Service Centers
The RSU has six Equity Service Centres: The Centre for Women & Trans People, The Good Food Centre, Racialised Students' Collective, RyeACCESS, RyePRIDE, and the Trans Collective. These centres serve as a space for students from different marginalized backgrounds to come together and organize equity and social justice initiatives, events, and campaigns.
In 2010, The Board of Directors voted to change the name from "Community Service Groups" to "Equity Service Centers".
Criticism
The RSU has been criticized for its equity centre policies and for banning a men's issues student group on campus. In 2015, former RSU vice-president education Jesse Root was accused of deleting emails in violation of Ontario's privacy laws.
