Borders College

Welcome to our Students Association

As one of our students, whether full-time or part-time, day or evening attendant, you will automatically become a member of the Students Association.

The Students Association is run for students by students. Its Executive team plans and organises a variety of activities throughout the year to encourage students to try new experiences and meet new people, giving them a wider experience of college life while increasing their learning.

Who is Involved in its Running?
We have an Executive Committee of main Office Bearers who see to the day-to day running of the Association.
Each academic Department (six in all) has its own Department Council – a group that consists of Class Representatives, Head of Department, and Programme Leaders and is chaired by a Class Representative elected by their peers. These groups meet every two months.
The Students Representative Council is made up of the Executive Committee and the Department Council Chairs. This group sees that the Association is run fairly for all students and meet once per term.

Clubs and Societies
The Students Association would like to see students becoming involved in setting up clubs and societies that reflect their interests. Do you have a hobby or interest that you’d like to share with others? If so, why not contact the Students Association office where we can help you to get started?!
