Student Life


Campus Recreation

Students have the opportunity to benefit from a variety of activities and programs devoted to healthful living through the CSCC Fitness Center, located in G-109. Hours for the Fitness Center are posted at the beginning of each semester. There are both cardiovascular and weight training equipment available. The Fitness Center is available free to all students, faculty and staff.  For more information about the CSCC Fitness Center, contact the Director of Athletics and Campus Recreation.

Staff in Athletics and Campus Recreation coordinate intramural events during the fall and spring semesters. Intramural events promote student engagement through participating in events like 3 on 3 Basketball Tournaments, Pool Tournaments and Ping Pong Tournaments.  A schedule of intramural events can be obtained from the Fitness Center. 

Clubs and Organizations

Campus organizations provide opportunities for students to gain valuable leadership experience through recreational activities, educational programs, and service projects. Interested students may identify with one or more organizations that meet their special interests.  The Office of Student Engagement and Support (Student Center Room U-102) provides support and coordination for all student organizations, and maintains a current list of organizations, information concerning organizations, and instructions on the formation of new groups.  CSCC Policy 3:01:01:00 provides guidance for how student organizations operate. 

Cougar Den

The Cougar Den Pantry is located in the Office of Student Engagement and Support (Student Center U-102).  The Grab and Go food pantry is free and available to all currently enrolled CSCC students who need a quick snack, such as chips, breakfast bars, cookies, water, etc. before or right after class.

Cougar Connection

The Cougar Connection is published weekly during the fall and spring semesters, by the Office of Student Engagement and Support, and delivered through the students’ Cleveland State email address.  This publication informs students of activities, events and information about Campus Life. 

Student Activities

Cleveland State offers a wide variety of co-curricular activities to enrich the lives of students during their time on campus. The Student Senate and Office of Student Engagement and Support work closely to plan, coordinate, and implement activities such as Octoberfest, Back-to-School Bash, Clubs/Organizations Fair, and Awards Night.

Student Opinions - Methods to Express

Students may convey their views through a variety of communication vehicles including elected representatives of the Student Senate, committee meetings, and college meetings. For more information, contact the Student Senate in Room 108B of the Student Center.

Student Senate

Students are the heart of the institution and have a right and responsibility to be involved in the governance of the institution. Students have to serve on college committees to provide input from the student perspective. Students have a formal Student Senate organization as a vehicle for voicing student opinion to the administration. The Student Senate president and vice president are elected each spring in a popular vote by the student body. Each CSCC club elects a representative to serve on the Senate. Eight at-large senators from the student body are elected at the beginning of the school year as well. Meetings are held twice a month in Student Center Conference Room.  For more information and a schedule of meetings, stop by the Senate Office in Room 108B of the Student Center or call (423) 472-7141 or (800) 604-2722, ext. 441.
