Ulster Community College Association

Under regulations of the State University of New York, SUNY Ulster will not participate financially in extracurricular activities. SUNY Ulster formed a separate, not-for-profit corporation to establish, finance, and operate faculty and student activities. This corporation is known as the Ulster Community College Association. Membership is made up of seven students presently registered at the College, four faculty members, four representatives of the administrative staff, one member of the Board of Trustees, and nonvoting ex-officio members, including the President of the College and the Association's Financial Secretary.

The Association has two main purposes: to cultivate, promote, and encourage the development of such appropriate extracurricular activities for the academic community which will parallel the educational goals of SUNY Ulster; and to receive, manage, and control the revenues and disbursements of student activities (SGO, clubs, and athletics), day care, and workshops and special campus events.

The College Association fee is charged for all full-time and part-time students, except those enrolled in the SUNY Ulster Collegian Program. These fees are collected by the Student Accounts Office with the tuition payment and then transferred to the student activities account to finance college-sponsored activities. The fee also entitles the student to membership in the Student Government Organization (SGO).
