All credit students are members of the student government association (SGA). The purpose of
the SGA is to establish, promote and finance organizations and events directed toward the
benefit of the students and to provide a student representative on designated college committees.
The SGA operates from SGA fees generated from students at the beginning of each fall and spring
semester. All organizations approved and recognized by the SGA are eligible to be considered
to receive funds from the SGA. Procedures to obtain recognition include the submission of
a constitution and bylaws, a list of officers, the signature of a proposed advisor and the
signatures of at least five interested students. The SGA's executive board then makes a recommendation
through the college administration to the college's board of trustees. The SGA also provides
an opportunity for students to further pursue their special interests by coordinating and
allocating funds for other activities, such as hosting guest lecturers and special presentations.
A student interested in starting a new club should meet with the Director of Student Activities
to begin the process. The following forms must be completed and submitted to the Student
Government Association:
