Each campus has a Student Association which represents the students in matters concerning the general welfare of the student body. This involves taking action on behalf of the student body, promoting student involvement in student activities and affairs, and providing student representatives to the various campus and University boards and committees. Voluntary Student Unionism (VSU) legislation requires membership of the Student Associations to be voluntary; the association provides members with additional assistance and access to services not available to non-members.
ACUNSA, the ACU National Student Association, comprises the Student Association President of each of ACU National’s six campuses and the Student Senator. Each year ACUNSA elects a Student Senator to the University Senate, and to represent students on Academic Board and other committees.
International students are represented on Student Associations to ensure the special needs of international students are not overlooked. In addition to the facilities and activities provided for all University students, ACUcom also organises regular social activities for international students in their programs.
