All student organizations operate under the policies and guidelines set for the College by the State Board of Trustees. Approval by the student governing body and the administration is required of all student organizations seeking to make use of the College facilities. All approved organizations must be open for membership to all eligible candidates and must make available to the student governing body all records of officers, membership, and financial transactions.

The College recognizes that educational, recreational, and social values of student organizations and extra-curricular activities complement the institution'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 studies.
