Student Outcomes

Voter Registration

Annually, the Student Council will spearhead a good faith effort to distribute voter registration forms to each enrolled student who physically attends the university and make the forms widely available prior to federal and state elections for governor or other state chief executives. A campus wide email will be sent out devoted exclusively to voter registration with exact internet addresses to download state forms. Any paper voter registration forms received by campus offices should be forwarded to the Student Council to be available for students to pick up in the Student Council office upon arrival. (As listed in the Student Programs Handbook).
