Associated Students of Aims Community College - ASACC is a student organization whose membership includes all Aims students. This organization serves the students at Aims by addressing student concerns and student-related campus issues and by coordinating student activities. The organization is governed by two student groups: the Student Government Association and the MyLife Student Peer Education Council, with representation from the Greeley, Fort Lupton, and Loveland campuses. These boards work together and form the Associated Students Board.
Student Government Association - The SGA provides a student voice in campus decision making processes and brings student concerns to the forefront of campus operations. This group provides input on student life issues to the college administration and the Aims Board of Trustees. Additionally, this board assists in chartering and working with student clubs and organizations.
Student Peer Education Council - The SPEC, also known as MyLife, is responsible for planning activities that complement the educational aspect of college life. SPEC coordinates activities that focus on health related topics, educational workshops, diversity programs, films, lectures, and promoting student involvement on campus. These activities include: Fall-In, Black History Week, suicide prevention presentations, The Great American Smoke Out, faculty lectures series, The Great Winter Give Back, the Human2Human Diversity Series and more.

Parking Permit - Students at Aims are required to have a parking permit for all cars or motorcycles they will be parking on campus. A parking permit is required at the Greeley, Windsor and Fort Lupton campuses. Any student visiting those campuses must have a permit or will be ticketed. The permit is free to the student and provides an added level of security for our enrolled students. Vehicles not displaying a current parking permit will be ticketed.
Permit may be obtained by:
- Completing a parking permit form with the following information:
Name, A number, vehicle license plate number, make of vehicle, model of vehicle, color of vehicle.
Parking permit forms are available in the Student Life Office, Room 130 in the College Center
and at the front desk on the other campuses or go online and print one out.

in the College Center on the Greeley Campus or the front desk personnel on the other campuses to
get your parking permit. There is no charge for a parking permit and you need to have one for any
vehicle you park on the campuses.
- Motorcycle permits need to be picked up at Facilities and Operations. Call the office at 970-339-6243
to make arrangements to pick your permit up.
