Visitor and Cultural Resources was created in 1992 as part of the Office of Public Relations. Its mandate was to develop, coordinate, and implement interpretive programs and educational material for University tours. The unit was to act as a liaison between the University and the members of the public interested in the cultural resources located on campus. Interpreters were employed and trained to conduct general campus tours or specific museum and gallery tours. Due to financial constraints Visitor and Cultural Resources was made redundant in early 1994. Melanie Boyd was the only head of the unit (1992-1994).

In 1981 Blaine Holmlund was appointed to a new administrative position: Vice-President (Special Projects). That office was responsible for initiating major projects; assisting Deans and faculty in implementing intercollege programs; preparing annual budget submissions and multi-year budget plans; campus-wide computer and communications services; the University Studies Group, physical plant operations, A-V services, college reviews, and student services. In his 10 December 1985 report to Council, President Leo Kristjanson noted that "because of a perceived uncertainty about the boundaries of responsibility indicated by the title VP Special Projects, the title has been changed to VP Planning and Development." The responsibilities of the office remained relatively unchanged. BA Holmlund continued as VP (Planning & Development) until his retirement from the University in 1991.

The Veterinary Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO) was established in 1974. Since its inception the Saskatoon based organization has aimed at finding cures for common infectious diseases in cattle, swine, and poultry. In the 1980s, VIDO scientists gained an international reputation for their pioneering work on vaccines aimed at combatting shipping fever and a disease which produces pneumonia and arthritis in cattle. In 1983 VIDO and the University of Saskatchewan collaborated to create BIOSTAR Inc. to commercialize the developments of VIDO. In 1989 a subsidiary, BIOWEST, was created to manufacture products developed by VIDO. The following have served as director of the Organization: C.H. Bigland (1974-1984); S.D. Acre (1984-1992); L.A. Babiuk (1991- ).

Created in 1970, the University Studies Group provides three basic services to the University of Saskatchewan. Firstly, it compiles and disseminates baseline statistical data. Secondly, it conducts one-time informational projects for Senior Administration, Deans and Department Heads, Committees, outside agencies, and to a lesser extent for individual faculty. Thirdly, it acts as support for university policy and planning functions through involvement in a variety of assessment projects such as college, departmental and non-academic reviews and the Academic Planning and Priorities Committee. Directors of the USG have been: G.W. Peardon, 1970-1973; M.G. Sheppard, 1973-1974; B.A. Holmlund, 1974-1980; K.A. Wilson, 1980-1985; M.L. Benson, 1985-1989; B.L. Dubray (acting), 1988-1992; B.L. Dubray, 1993- .

In addition to regulating by statute the details of the two-campus organization, the University Act of 1968 called for the creation of a University Secretary. This officer would become the secretary of the Board of Governors, the Senate, and the newly created General University Council. There was also a Campus Secretary for each of the two campuses (Saskatoon and Regina). In 1974 the University Act was replaced by the University of Saskatchewan Act to reflect the establishment of the University of Regina. The duties of the University Secretary were to remain essentially the same. The General University Council, however, was made redundant and replaced by the University Council. As the keeper of the official records of the above bodies, this office acts as a communication centre for academic and administrative decisions pertaining to the University. The following have served as University Secretary: J.A.E. Bardwell (1968-1974); N.K. Cram (1974-1984); R.I. MacLean (1984-2000); Gordon Barnhart (2000-2005); Lea Pennock (2005-2013); Elizabeth Williamson (2013-2017); Beth Bilson (2017- ). The Campus Secretary (Saskatoon) was N.K. Cram (1968-1974)

Though the first recorded withdrawal from the University Library occurred in October 1909, nearly five decades passed before the Library had its own building. The early collection was housed either on the second floor of the College Building, later known as the Administration Building, or was scattered among a number of small departmental libraries. Plans for a new library building ended with the Depression; and a dramatically reduced acquisitions budget was offset by a grant from the Carnegie Corporation in 1933. In 1943 the University hired its first professional Librarian. A fire in the attic of the College Building in 1947 resulted in extensive water damage to the Library below. A combination of provincial grants and University fund raising financed the construction of the Murray Memorial Library, with space for the Provincial Archives, between 1954 and 1956. Over the next two decades the University Library System mirrored the expansion of the University in general and now includes a new main library building and branches in Education, Health Sciences, Law, Engineering, Geography/Physics, Thorvaldson, and Veterinary Medicine. The University Librarians have been: M.A. Morton, (1914-1940); J.M. Lothian, (1941-1943); T.R. Barcus, (1943-1945); D.C. Appelt, (1945-1979); N.A. Brown, (1979-1986); P.D. Wiens, (1986-1992); F.S. Winter [acting], (1992-1994); F.S. Winter, (1994- ).

The University of Saskatchewan Archives was established in 1970. Its primary function is to acquire, preserve, and make accessible permanently valuable records of the University: that is, records, in any medium, of continuing administrative, legal, and/or historical value. In addition to administrative records the Archives also collects the private papers of faculty, staff, students, alumni, and University-related organizations and societies; as well as private collections which support the University's research strengths. In 2013, the University Archives and the University Library's Special Collections unit merged to form University Archives and Special Collections.

The University Summer School emerged in 1914; for the first three years (1914-1917), the Department of Education assumed responsibility for the direction and support of the school. Only school teachers took the courses; these were designed to improve instruction in agriculture, household science, nature study, art, and elementary science. In 1917, at the request of the Department, the University took over management of the School, and classes were offered leading to a degree. Classes were given in English, Latin, Chemistry, Physics, and Field Husbandry (Morton, p.110). From 1919 to 1937, G.H. Ling was Director; during his tenure it grew into one of the largest and best known university summer schools in Canada (Morton, p.71).

The University of Saskatchewan Students’ Union (USSU) opened the Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Centre on September 3, 1997. Funded by the Students’ Union but maintained and operated by volunteers, the Centre was created to provide information, support, and advocacy around sexual and gender diversity issues for all students at the University of Saskatchewan. It operates as a resource centre and provides services such as a drop-in centre, resource library, peer support, speakers bureau, discussion groups, safer sex information, workshops, and volunteer opportunities. It is committed to educating and bringing awareness of sexual and gender diversity issues and experiences to the campus community. The Centre also advocates for the rights and equality for people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. The name of this Centre was changed to USSU Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Ally (LGBTA) Centre in 2002. In 2007, the Centre’s name was changed again to USSU Pride Centre.

The USSU Women's Centre was established in 1972 as an information and resource centre for women on campus. Staffed by volunteers, the Centre has an extensive library of feminist books, magazines, newsletters, and periodicals. In addition, they serve as a support centre, providing a place for campus women to meet informally. Centre volunteers also organize and support educational and action groups, and host social events on campus.

Originally "The Students' Union of the University of Saskatchewan," or SUUS, this organization was formed "to promote the general interest of the students; to constitute a recognized medium of communication between the University authorities, the public and the students; and, except where otherwise provided, to supervise and control all student organizations and the conduct and activities of students in connection with the University." The "legislative, executive, and judicial" powers of the USSU were vested in the Students' Representative Council, or SRC.
