Associated Students

Associated Students (AS) serves as the official voice and primary advocate for California State University, Northridge (CSUN) students. Dedicated to fostering a spirited, student-centered campus, AS delivers impactful programs and services that enhance the academic and social experience.

The AS Senate sets policy, oversees finances, coordinates student services, advises on university decisions and appoints student representatives to university advisory boards.
