Membership in the Student Government Association is open to all currently-enrolled undergraduate residential and commuter students who are not on probation or suspension.

For additional information, visit the SGA’s website.

Student Clubs and Organizations

Student Government Association is home to 120+ student led clubs.  Students who participate in our clubs are sure to gain confidence and make long lasting friendships as they engage and connect with other students who have similar passions and interests. SGA clubs provide the opportunity for students to enrich their campus life by building valuable social skills that will assist them in becoming Champions for Christ.

Students who wish to form an SGA club must complete an application process and be approved by the Liberty University administration before they meet on campus, advertise, distribute or post materials or use any University facilities for activities or events. All club or organization-sponsored activities or events must be consistent with the University’s mission and must be and remain in compliance with The Liberty Way and any policies or procedures promulgated by the University. The University reserves the right to refuse the use of its facilities for any reason to any student club, organization, activity, or event.
