The Student Association is independent of the University and works to provide you with services, representation and non-academic activities. The services we offer reflect the nature of student life and operate to meet your needs while on campus. The Association represents students at a number of different levels: to the University, to the community, and to the Government - both on a local basis, and state-wide. One of the most important reasons the Association exists is to represent you in any disputes and discussions that arise within the University. The Student Association ensures the University considers students’ needs when making important decisions.
