Student Development FAQ

Q. Where can I find a list of all clubs on campus?

A.  All club information is listed online at http://www.saddleback.edu/clubs/. This is a comprehensive list of all clubs that have historically been active on campus. A club’s active status is noted on the left side of the club name.  If a club is active it means they’ve filled out all of the necessary paperwork to become officially recognized by Saddleback College and also currently meet on campus. To view their meeting time and place, click on the club name.

Q. How do I start a club?

A. First, check online (http://www.saddleback.edu/clubs/) to see if the club you would like to start has been active in the past. If it has, then club reactivation is the route to go. To reactivate a club you must find 5 students, including yourself, willing to start the club with you. Next you must find an Adviser. You are encouraged to contact the club’s previous Adviser to see if they are willing to advise the club again. If finding a new Adviser he or she must be a full-time/part-time faculty or a full-time staff member. Once these steps have been completed one club representative and the adviser (if new) must attend an orientation workshop given by Erin Long. If a club rep and adviser (if applicable) cannot make the orientation meetings then an individual meeting can be made with Erin.

The process is generally the same to start a new club. You must find 5 students (including yourself) and an Adviser. The adviser must be a Full-time/Part-time Faculty or Full-time Staff. It helps if the Adviser shares the same interest as your club. Once your students and Adviser are found then a club rep and the Adviser (if new) must attend an orientation meeting given by Erin Long. If an orientation meeting cannot be attended, individual meetings can be scheduled with Erin Long.

Once at the Orientation Meeting Erin will go into detail about the different club categories, forms and your club’s constitution and bylaws.

Q. How do I join a club?

A. Joining a club is simple! On our clubs website (http://www.saddleback.edu/clubs/) you can find a list of active clubs. Click on the club you would like to join. This will take you to that club’s page. Each active club’s webpage has student and adviser contact information, meeting dates and times. Feel free to email the student contact about joining the club. You may also attend any club meeting to express interest.

Q. What does the ASB stamp do?

A. The benefits of the ASB stamp include 10% off the Cafeteria, the Coffee Cart, and Bookstore merchandise (excluding books, software & computer supplies). ASB stamp holders will also have free admission to regular sporting events, discounts to McKinney Theater as well as have access to purchase discount amusement park and movie tickets through the Student Development Office. Along with the ASB stamp, students will receive a discount booklet worth over $160 to local favorite businesses.

By investing in your ASB stamp you are supporting the many programs at Saddleback College such as Athletics, Clubs and Scholarships.

Q. If I never use/redeem my ASB stamp can I get a refund?

A.  Refunds are never given for unused ASB stamps, as stated in the Course Catalog. The only exception is if a student drops all his or her classes and is no longer attending Saddleback College. A refund may be issued if said student sees the Student Development office that same day.

Q.  Where can I receive my student ID card?

A. The student ID card can be picked up in Admissions and Records. Be sure to have your student ID number and some sort of picture identification with you and your ID card will be issued the same day.

Q.  How do I apply for ASG?

A.  Visit saddleback.edu/asg to find the application. This application can be filled out and turned into the Student Development Office or emailed to SCStudentdevelopment@saddleback.edu or the current ASG President.
