Incorporated under the Society Act in 1981, Kwantlen University College Student Association (KSA) continues to serve the student body by providing support services, advocacy and representation. Elections are held for students who whish to serve a yearlong term on the Council and Executive Board. A team of support staff handles the business operations and day-to-day management of the Association.

The Student Association makes financial contributions and lends logistical support to: scholarships and awards, daycare, bursaries, emergency funds, the Library (Buy-a-Book Campaign), clubs and recreation services. The KSA has also donated equipment to the College for student use, such as: printers, computers for job placement services, and microwave ovens.

A significant role of your student leaders is to be a strong voice for students on issues that affect their education, such as affordability, accessibility and transferability. As well, they address social issues by supporting awareness campaigns on AIDS, Drinking and Driving, Eating Disorders, Drug Abuse and Cultural Diversity Issues. Students can be assured that their rights are protected and their opinions are being heard at various levels of policy-making bodies within the University College, such as, the Board of Governors, Presidential Advisory Committee, Appeals Committee and Education Council.
