STUDENT COUNCIL:
Student government is a crucial component of The North Coast College campus. The council consists of a president, vice-president, and secretary. Elections are held annually and student candidates are on a volunteer basis. A minimum cumulative grade point average is required to hold a position in student government. The student body elects these officers digitally through an open election process. The student officer holds this position for one year.
These council members represent the student body by addressing their ideas and implementing new initiatives for the betterment of student life. The student president sits on the President’s Cabinet in an effort to promote the shared governance that The North Coast College prides itself on. Student Council is responsible for creating and maintaining various student groups throughout campus. These groups are designed to engage students and enrich their college experience. There are both professional and social groups and students are encouraged to offer ideas and suggestions for new groups.
