TITLE: STUDENT ACTIVITIES PROGRAMS

Philosophy. Student activities at Linn-Benton Community College provide students with additional basic experience in social and personal development and are considered an integral part of the total educational plan of the college. Students are encouraged to participate in co-curricular activities related to their fields of study. Student participation on college committees, councils, commissions, and government not only assists the individual in self-development, but also plays an important role in the operation and effective functioning of the college.

Budget Development. Students are encouraged to assume an active role in the development of the student activities program (SAP) budget. Students who choose to participate in this process by serving on the SAP Advisory Committee are expected to offer meaningful input into the development and funding of extra-curricular and co-curricular programs.

It is recognized that the authority and responsibility for administering the SAP budget rests with the LBCC Board of Education as prescribed by Oregon Law. This law provides that the Board of Education prescribe and collect fees and expend funds so raised for special programs and services for the students and for programs for the social, cultural, and physical development of the students.
