Cuyamaca College supports the organization of students known as the Associated Students of Cuyamaca College (ASCC).   This Association promotes the following objectives:

	To serve as an active student voice in the operation of the college, including both shared governance and the management of student activities.
	To provide an opportunity for leadership experience and training for students.
	To enhance, wherever possible, the general excellence of the college, uniting the interests of all persons - faculty, administration, local residents and students.

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 ASCC has adopted a constitution which established an organized "student voice" at Cuyamaca College.  This "voice" is facilitated by the ASCC and is a critical constituency among the college governance structure.
