The Associated Students of Solano Community College (ASSC) is the official student government, dedicated to representing the voice and interests of SCC students. ASSC works to ensure active student participation in campus decision-making, advocates for student rights, and supports a vibrant campus life through services, events, and leadership opportunities. By protecting freedom of assembly, diversity, and expression, ASSC fosters responsible citizenship while encouraging academic excellence and student engagement.
Students can get involved by running for elected positions—such as President, Vice President, Student Trustee, or Legislative Advocate—or by applying for open Senate seats. ASSC meets weekly on Fridays from 12:30–2:00 p.m. in Room 1421, and all interested students are welcome to participate.
