Student Leadership and Development Office

The Student Leadership and Development Office offers support and growth experiences through a variety of educational, social, and multicultural activities. Students participate in student leadership activities through the Associated Students of Aims Community College.

Programs and Services

The Student Leadership and Development Office is committed to serving as a resource for Aims students as well as supporting student activities. The office provides opportunities for students to gain valuable experiences in planning and implementing activities and programs. Students meet new and interesting people and participate in activities that often have a lasting effect on both the campus and the individual. Student Leadership and Development encompasses a broad range of programs and services designed with the student as the priority.

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 the Student Government Association with representation from the Greeley, Fort Lupton, and Loveland campuses.

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 activities that complement the educational aspect of college life are coordinated by this team as well. These activities include: Fall-In, Black History Week, suicide prevention programs, The Great American Smoke Out, Student Health Fair, faculty lectures, clothing and toiletry drives, the Human2Human Diversity Series, and more.

Study Lounges - Lounges are located in Westview, Ed Beaty Hall, Horizon Hall, and the Allied Health and Sciences Building.

Student ID - The Aims Student ID is the official identification card for all members of the student community. It functions as a library card, gymnasium pass, Learning Commons card, testing center pass and includes benefits in the surrounding community including student discounts. All students are expected to obtain an Aims Student ID card after registering for courses for their first term at Aims. Bring a copy of your class schedule and photo ID to the Student Leadership and Development Office, Room 130 in the College Center or the Front Desk at Loveland/Fort Lupton campuses to obtain a free student ID.

Parking - Vehicular parking is available on campus in designated lots with a parking permit. Parking regulations are enforced by the Department of Public Safety and Security.

Students at Aims are required to have a parking permit for all cars or motorcycles they will be parking on campus. Parking permits are required at the Greeley, Windsor and Fort Lupton campuses. Any student visiting those campuses must have a permit or they risk being ticketed. The permit is free to the student and provides an added level of security for our campus population.
