Student Government: Your Voice

Student Government is your organization

The senate and executive officers present your opinions, needs and concerns to such groups as the College Leadership Team, the State Student Advisory Council (SSAC) of the State Board for Community College and Occupational Education (SBCCOE), and many campus-wide committees.

Student Government allocates your activity fees to programs that directly benefit students. These funds are allocated to qualifying College clubs and organizations, Student Activities, the Campus Center, and other student-centered programs.

Student Government is composed of twelve senators and five officers: president, vice president, secretary and treasurer, and SSAC representative. Elections for senate seats are held in the fall semester. The twelve senators represent Centennial Campus (1), Rampart Range Campus (1), Downtown Studio Campus (1), Distance Education Students (1) and (8) at-large or general representatives. The president, vice president and the SSAC representative are elected in the spring semester. The secretary and treasurer are appointed.

To be eligible to run for senate, you must be enrolled in and successfully complete at least six semester hours at PPCC and maintain a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA. Officers must maintain a minimum 2.75 cumulative GPA. You must be enrolled at PPCC a minimum of one semester prior to seeking one of these executive positions in Student Government. While each PPCC student cannot serve as an elected member of Student Government, many opportunities exist for participation in various task forces and committees. Stop by the Student Government Offices and volunteer. Student Government needs you!

You are urged to become familiar with the Student Government constitution and to become involved with your Student Government. Regular meetings are held each week and are open to the public. Meeting times are posted in the Student Government Office, room C-206 at Centennial Campus, (or call 502.4141), or at the Student Government Office, room S-207D, at Rampart Range Campus, (or call 502.2098).
