ASB sponsors campus-wide student government elections during the fall and spring semesters. Six senators are elected in the spring and six in the fall. All currently enrolled Barstow College students may vote in the election. Elections are held at the Barstow College campus and the Fort Irwin Education Center.

Barstow College believes that participation in student government and activities enhances and enriches the student’s education. To foster participation by students, two distinct and identifiable programs are offered: Student Government and Student Activities.

Student Government at the College is represented by the Associated Student Body of Barstow College (ASB) which annually elects its own administrative officers and student senators who are provided with practical leadership training and education in the functions of government and leadership. In addition, the Associated Student Body elects its own student trustee to the District Board of Trustees. The Student Senate also participates in policy-making College-wide committees and task force decisions.

Student Activities programs at the College participate in the planning, development and implementation of educational, cultural, social and recreational activities. These activities, whether College-wide or sponsored by special interest clubs and organizations, provide the student with opportunities for exploring and developing talents, making friends, realizing personal potential and experiencing a sense of community at the College.

Information about student government, student activities and student clubs and their membership procedures are available in the Student Life Office.
