Student Center

The Bainbridge College Student Center provides an atmosphere where both students and faculty can relax and make constructive use of their leisure time.  The Center houses a lounge, snack bar, dining area, a recreational game area, and a television viewing area.  The Center also houses the Office of Student Affairs, Office of Financial Aid, College bookstore, Testing and Career Development Center, Learning Center and the Student Government Association offices.  Also, this facility is utilized for dances and other group/club activities.

Students should realize that the Student Center, because of the nature and number of activities taking place, is not conducive to studying.  Students are encouraged to study in the library where the atmosphere is more conducive to studying.

Student Activities / Programs

Your student activity fee will provide you with the following activities plus additional activities may develop during the semester.  Get involved in campus activities and experience first hand, rewarding results.

Fees Shared Programming

In order for the Student Government Association and Student Activities to offer certain special programs, the Fees Shared Programming concept has been developed.  This concept simply states that the student will pay a portion of the program expense and the balance of the expenses will be paid out of the Student Activities Budget.  Some examples of Fees Shared Programs are the travel programs, expanded programs, and dances.

Travel Programs

The Bainbridge College Student Activity Program offers a number of travel programs each year.  Participation is on a first-come-first-served basis with each trip being announced at the beginning of each semester.  Through this program students have had an opportunity to go on chartered bus rides, deep-sea fishing trips, excursions and senior college visits.  Students sign-up for these programs by paying the required fees in the Office of Student Affairs.  It should be understood that only in cases of extreme hardship would fees paid be refunded.  For further information contact the Office of Student Affairs.

Expanded Programs

Expanded programs (discount programs) are programs that use community resources. Students may participate whenever the facilities are open.  At present, Bainbridge College offers half price tickets for the Bainbridge Little Theater Productions.  For further information, contact the Office of Student Affairs.

FOR INFORMATION REGARDING EXPANDED PROGRAMS CONTACT THE OFFICE OF STUDENT AFFAIRS.
