Student Association
The Students’ Association (DGSA) exists to ensure that students are represented at all levels and across all programmes at Dumfries and Galloway College. Every student enrolled at the college, whether part-time or full-time, is automatically a member of the SA.

Elections for Student Association President and Vice Presidents are held during Block 3. There may also be other Officer roles available for you to get involved in, this is a great opportunity to share your experience, add skills to your CV and meet students from across the college. Join the SA Facebook page and watch LearnNet for update.
