Associated Students Organization

The Associated Students Organization of Los Angeles Southwest College represents all students and sponsors activities including publications, assemblies, awards, student services, and club and social activities. Membership in this organization permits participation in L.A.S.C.-sponsored activities and events, including free admission to certain social affairs and a reduction in the price of admission to every college-sponsored activity which the Association is unable to furnish free to its members.

Membership in the Associated Student Organization is not mandatory. However, student body activities are financed by money received from student membership in the Associated Students of Southwest College. Receipts are budgeted to activities concerned with the health, convenience, and general welfare of the student body in accordance with policies, rules, and regulations defined by the Board of Trustees of the Los Angeles Community College District. Membership cards in the Associated Students of Southwest College are $7.00 per semester and $5.00 for summer session students. In case of withdrawal from the College, the student receives a refund of his or her student body membership fee according to the Schedule of Classes.
