DACC Catalog 2011-2012

Catalog - Student Activities

Student Government Association (SGA)

    Students at DACC are represented by a twelve-member Student Government Association (SGA). SGA elections are held each September. SGA members must maintain a minimum semester and cumulative grade point average of 2.00 (“C”) and carry a minimum of nine semester hours. Petitions for a SGA seat may be obtained from the SGA Advisor at the beginning of the fall semester.

The purposes of the Student Government Association are:

• To provide an effective means of communication;
• To promote a positive relationship between the students and faculty, students and administration, and within the student body;
• To be knowledgeable of all DACC policies/procedures and appropriately channel student questions and concerns;
• To support the development and promotion of students activities at DACC.

    Students are encouraged to contact their SGA members. The SGA office is located in the Lincoln Hall, Room 115. The phone number is 443-8711.

Student Trustee

    Danville Area Community College has one advisory-voting member who is a student enrolled in the College under the jurisdiction of the DACC Board of Trustees. The election for the Student Trustee is held in April by the student body. Qualifications are published annually by the Secretary to the Board of Trustees. The Student Trustee can be reached by calling 443-8741.

Holding Office

    A student must be carrying six or more semester hours of work to hold an elected or appointed office in College organizations. A student with less than a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 cannot hold office in any organization. (See DACC Student Handbook for additional information.)
