Student Activities

Student Activities provides opportunities for students to nurture their personal growth and development outside of the academic environment. Students are encouraged to participate in student clubs, the Student Government Association (SGA) and the numerous special events sponsored by student clubs and OSA. Affiliation and involvement in student clubs provides students with the opportunity to gain hands-on leadership, enriching their college learning experience and providing them with the ability to explore personal and career-related interests. OSA also strives to engage our students, faculty and staff in local communities.

Bulletin Boards

Bulletin boards are used to inform the campus community of campus events, activities, policies and notices. Space is provided for items of an educational, cultural, civic or recreational nature, rather than for commercial or partisan political purposes. The bulletin boards are also offered as a community service to publicize local groups, meetings, cultural events, non-partisan political events, fund-raising events for nonprofit organizations and educational opportunities. If you have something you would like to post, bring it to Student Activities for prior approval.

Student IDs

Student IDs are available to currently enrolled Manchester campus students and can be used for discounts, identification and more. Students should obtain their IDs from their home campus.  There is no cost for the first ID, however there is a $10 replacement cost if you lose your ID. 

Beginning May 17, the AST Welcome Center where IDs are made will be closed for the summer.  Student IDs will only be created during New Student Orientations on July 17 and August 1.
