Students serving Students

The Regent Student College Association (RCSA) is made up of all students currently enrolled in at least 3 credits, who paid student fees. If this is true for you, you’re part of the RCSA!

The RCSA elects a student council annually to cultivate community, represent the student voice across the College’s governing groups, and partner with the Dean of Students Office to serve the students in co-curricular spaces.

What is the RCSA?

The RCSA Exists to:

  • The council represent the study body across committees with faculty, staff, and board members. These committees engage with academic, institutional, and co-curricular concerns and opportunities. The council can connect students with the appropriate people and departments as needed.

  • We are eager to connect students with resources available to us through UBC, local churches, and various services in the city. We also have set aside a portion of our budget for an emergency fund to help students who may encounter a crisis in the midst of their study.

  • At Regent, we value rhythms of annual whole-community celebrations. The council hosts the annual spring banquet, L’Chaim, and co-hosts the annual Christmas party. Other smaller events occur throughout the terms to cultivate connection like the Gathering Table.

  • Got an idea for our community? Each year brings different people, opportunities, and ideas to enrich our student experience. The council can support student-led initiatives across academic, co-curricular, and extra-curricular ideas that enrich Regent students. Share your idea today!

  • Did you know that the student kitchen, prayer chapel, and library computer lab is sponsored and managed by the council? The council also provides access to lockers and can sponsor new ideas that benefit the community. The water filling stations and library standing desks and more were all RCSA initiatives!

  • Et Cetera is our student newspaper. Written by students for community, the Et Cetera is published on a monthly basis this year (in print and online). Any current student may submit writings for review. Look out for the Greensheets in the atrium that include external events and resources in Vancouver!
