Student Handbook - Chipola College

Student Activities
Get Involved!
Student activities complement the academic programs of the college by providing
opportunities for you to develop leadership skills, pursue special interests, and
interact socially.
Student Government Association
The Student Government Association represents, through its elected members, the
entire student body and is a voice for you. All students enrolled at Chipola are SGA
members and are invited to come to the meetings. SGA sponsors student activities
and represents students’ interests through contact with the college administration. It is
a great opportunity to meet people, develop leadership skills, and be more interactive
with your experience at Chipola. If you have a 2.5 or higher GPA, you are eligible
to run for SGA executive offices; other positions require a 2.0 GPA. You may also
serve SGA through an appointed position. Elections are held twice a year, once in
the fall and once in the spring.
