The LACC Associated Student Organization (ASO) is the officially
designated student organization that represents students’ needs and
concerns. The ASO is a significant component of LACC’s shared
governance process. The governing body of the ASO is the Student
Senate, composed of officers elected annually by the student body at
large, following requirements of LACCD Administrative Regulation E-22.
LACC students are encouraged to join the ASO by paying the ASO fee of
$7.00 per semester. The membership benefits include participation in
student government, preferred parking, $70 book grants (limited number
to qualified applicants), free copier services (weekly limit), free scantrons
and bluebooks (weekly limit), discounted local faxing, free admission to
ASO supported cultural and social events, discount tickets to theaters and
local amusement parks, and much more.
The ASO represents students on college, district and state-wide issues. It
provides students with leadership opportunities through involvement on
the Student Senate and Club Council, and by appointment to various
LACC, ASO, regional and state committees. It provides funding support for
a variety of campus activities - Dean’s Honor Ceremony, Commencement,
Welcome Days, Health Fair, English Writing Contest, Forensics Team,
Latino Heritage Festival, Foreign Language Day, African-American History
Month, blood drives, social events, speakers, and other events.
Student clubs provide a rich and exciting multi-cultural dimension to
college life. Any ASO member can start a club— it just takes eight ASO
members who share an interest and a faculty advisor—to be chartered by
the ASO. Information on joining or starting a club is available in the ASO
Services Office. All student clubs must be chartered by the ASO in order to
be recognized and officially function on campus.
The Student Senate is composed of the elected, or appointed, student
leaders. It meets regularly, with agendas posted in advance in accordance
with the Brown Act. It is composed of the President, Executive Vice
President, Vice President of Finance, Vice President of Clubs, and 16
Senators. The Associate Dean of Student Life serves as the ASO’s
advisor. Qualifications to hold student government office, as stated in E-
22, include maintaining a minimum unit enrollment and GPA, as well as
limits to the number of units completed and semesters holding office.
More information on student government, joining and/or starting a club,
holding an activity, eligibility for office, and the many benefits offered, is
available in the ASO Services Office in the Learning Resource Center, or
by calling (323) 953-4000 extension 2475. All students are encouraged to
get involved and get more out of college.
