The College recognizes the educational, recreational, and social values of student organizations and extracurricular activities that complement the College's academic programs.

Students are encouraged to participate in any or all phases of the student activities program as long as participation does not interfere with their studies.

All student organizations operate under the policies and guidelines set for the College by the State Board of Trustees. Approval by the student government and the administration is required of all student organizations seeking to make use of the College facilities and student activities funds.

Advising for a student organization is a rewarding experience, but it can be challenging too. Here is a handbook for our student organization advisors to help guide along the way:

  Is Your Student Club or Organization Planning a Trip or Activity?

Your club advisor may ask you to complete the following sign-up sheet in order to participate (instructors may also use this for activities or events for a class.) If a fee is involved, you will need to take the completed form to your campus business office. If no fee is involved, you will return the completed form to the advisor (or instructor).

  Student Government Association (SGA) - Region-wide The student government (SGA) is the representative governing body of the students. The SGA seeks to foster a spirit of cooperation between administration, faculty, staff, and students to increase the spirit and reputation of our college. SGA membership consists of representatives from each student club or organization, as established in the by-laws. Membership, meetings and activities are open to all active students and representatives from all program areas. All established student clubs and organizations must participate in SGA meetings and sponsored events in order to request funding from the SGA for club-sponsored activities.

Each of the four campuses in our region has an active Student Government Association. To learn more about SGA, or how you can become more involved, please contact the following SGA Advisors:
