Each year, the DSU publishes and distributes handbooks, free of charge, to thousands of Dawson students. The handbook valuable information about the DSU, CFS, Dawson College, and student life in general. The Handbook is ready for the first week of classes in August and is distributed free of charge to full-time students with a valid Dawson ID.

The handbook also contains a Student Saver Card in the back that can be used for great discounts at stores, cafés and restaurants throughout the greater Montréal area.
