ASSOCIATED STUDENT
GOVERNMENT AND SHARED GOVERNANCE
Since virtually all major decisions made at
Cuyamaca College affect students in some way, student input to the various
decision-making bodies is relevant, necessary and welcomed. The ASGCC has
adopted a constitution which established an organized "student voice" at
Cuyamaca College. This "voice" is facilitated by the ASGCC and is a
critical constituency among the college governance structure.
|
|
CULTURAL ACTIVITIES
The ASGCC
cooperates with and supports departments and special-interest groups to the
cultural awareness of all persons on the campus. Typical programs include:
Black History, Latin Heritage, Native American Awareness, Multi-cultural
Experience, Disability Day, musical and dramatic programs, art shows and
many other outstanding cultural programs. These programs are all open to
all members of the college and community.

HOW CAN STUDENTS KEEP TEXTBOOKS COST
DOWN?
Listed below are
several alternative sources and means for keeping textbook costs
down:
- Buy used books
when available.
- If more than one book is required or recommended, check with the instructor to ask when the book will be needed.
- Consider if you are eligible for financial assistance for books from sources such as
Financial Aid,
EOPS,
or
CalWORKs.
Check with the library and ask if your textbook is available for limited loan. If the library does not currently have the book, ask
the instructor to request a desk copy for the library.
Shop around. Compare prices from several book stores on and off campus. Ask instructor for the textbook ISBN number to facilitate this.
Check with on-line stores that specialize in selling textbooks such as:
whywaitforbooks.com.
(This is the campus Barnes & Noble website. A percentage of all sales goes toward college and student government programs.);
amazon.com/textbooks;
textbooks.com;
cheapesttexbooks.com;
booksprice.com;
campusbooks.com.
See if the textbook is available to download free through an open source on the internet. Many such repositories exist. Examples include: wikibooks.org;
wikieducator.org;
connexions (cnx.org);
cccoer.wordpress.com;
oercommons.org;
merlot.org.
Check for on-line book exchanges between students from sources such as:
Ebay.com;
bookswap.com;
campusbookswap.com;
swapbooks.com;
swaptree.com;
betterworld.com
Check if the publisher offers an e-text version that is paperless and usually cheaper.
