Student Association: Overview

The Student Association was ratified by students and by the president of Burlington College and its Board of Trustees. The BCSA includes an Executive Committee of five elected students who meet regularly, several appointed representatives who attend most Burlington College committee meetings, and all non-auditing students taking 3 or more credits and paying a $5 per semester fee.

A primary purpose of BCSA is to foster more open and effective communication among Burlington College constituents via All Student Forums and the BCSA newsletter. There are at least two All Student Forums each semester. The BCSA also serves as a student advocacy Burlington College Student Handbook 52 board, organizes and sponsors student activities, and, within Burlington College governance, acts as the representational voice and will of students regarding matters that concern them. This association strives to empower Burlington College’s student body by asserting and maintaining an appropriate, participatory, and vital role in Burlington College information dissemination, decision-making processes, and governance.
