Overview

The Office of Student Life & Leadership provides programs, engagement opportunities, and services that enhance the quality of the student experience at Cerritos College, and contributes to student growth and development. Student learning and development is the result of both academic and non-academic engagement, both in and out of the classroom, and the Student Life & Leadership Office is committed to providing opportunities that empower, educate, and engage students and the community, and enrich the Cerritos College experience.

Associated Students

The Associated Students of Cerritos College (ASCC) provides the governing body that finances, organizes, and directs many programs for the student population. It co-sponsors with the district such activities as athletics, fine arts programs, forensics, and the student newspaper.

The ASCC student government includes legislative, executive, and judicial branches. Participation in these programs and other campus activities has been a significant part of many students’ college experience.

Student Activity Sticker & Identification Card

ASCC utilizes the revenue collected from the Student Activity fee to support academic, co-curricular, and student life programs, services, and events.

A student activity sticker and identification card can be obtained from the Student I.D. Center which is located in the Admissions and Records Office in the Administration Building.

It is important that students be in possession of their Cerritos College identification card at all times while on the campus. This card is necessary for “buy-backs” in the College Bookstore and it is important to present when using the College Library, Student Health Center, and obtaining your Metro GoPass.

Student Organizations

Students are encouraged to participate in campus organizations. Cerritos College offers a variety of campus clubs and organizations for every phase of campus life. They provide opportunities for students in social, service, curricular, and special interest programs.

The club program consists of approximately 60 clubs on campus. Every year new clubs are chartered as they are requested by students. Every club on campus is a part of the Inter-Club Council which meets regularly to discuss activities, projects and problems pertaining to its members.

Information concerning clubs may be obtained in the Office of Student Life & Leadership, located in the Auto Partners Building.

The Associated Students also co-sponsors with the District such activities as Athletics, Choir, Band, Forensics, Drama, and Talon Marks.
