Student Association

The King's Student Association (SA) is a student group which enables students to be involved in the governing and decision-making process of The King's University College, and to be involved in activities and services which will encourage interaction among students, enrich their college experience, and foster an awareness of a student community, a larger college community, and the surrounding Christian and secular community. All students who attend The King's University College and have paid the Student Association Fee are considered members of the Student Association. There is an elected council that leads the SA and represent the entire student body. The SA council consist of 9 members who meet weekly to plan events, attend meetings, and voice concerns from the student body.
