Student’s Role

Students registered in one or more courses at Medicine Hat College main campus or Brooks campus pay fees to the SA. Fees are paid at the same time as tuition and are determined by how many courses a student is enrolled in. By paying these fees a student becomes a member of the Students’ Association (SA)!

1. Vote in all SA elections and referendum
2. Join any club and hold office in any club recognized and supported by the SA
3. Run in SA executive or council representative elections
4. Serve on regular and special committees of the Association
5. Petition the Association, MHC Administration, or the College Board through the SA
5. Enjoy benefits provided by the SA in representation and programming which their student fees establish or support
6. Participate in all recreational and athletic programs supported by the SA.
