Student Government Association
SGA represents the executive branch of the entire student body. The primary focus of SGA is to meet as a board regularly to discuss relevant bureaucratic matters within the student body as well as within the administration. Under the Student Government exists six committees: Awards/ Nominations, Election, Student Finance Board, Student Advisors on Multiculturalism, Academic Affairs, and Women's College Week Committees. SGA also brings most organizations together through weekly senate meetings.
Important Information about Organization Funding
Only organizations registered with the Office of Student Leadership and Activities and the Student Government Association will receive funding. Organizations must complete reactivation each year by completing the following forms and returning them to the Student Government Association Office (W-008):
- Organizational Record Form
-
The Organization's Constitution
- A constitution is required if the organization is newly formed or if the existing organization's constitution was updated since the last reactivation process.
- It is the responsibility of the president of each organization to receive written confirmation from the Student Affairs Officer for SGA that their organization's constitution is on file and does not need to be resubmitted.
- Simmons College Hazing Policy Form
- Public Performance of Videos and DVDs Form
In addition to the aforementioned requirements, the president and treasurer of the organization must attend one Budget Training and the President must attend one Event Planning Training each academic year in order to be eligible for funding. Presidents and treasurers elected after the initial Budget/Event Planning Training must inform the SGA Treasurer and must be trained in order to conduct financial transactions including requesting Event Budget funds. Trainings will be conducted on a monthly basis throughout the academic year. The SFB will only review Operational and Event Budget Request forms for those organizations which the Student Affairs Officer has confirmed have completed the reactivation process.
