Commuter Students
Commuter students are important and valued members of the Sixth College and UC San Diego communities.
Being connected to the campus and getting involved with leadership and other involvement opportunities will enrich your college experience.
Commuter Student Senator on SCSC
Interested in advocating for fellow commuter students during the academic year? Join Sixth College Student Council (SCSC) as the Commuter Senator and make your voice heard! During Spring Quarter, a Sixth College commuter student is elected to this position and serves a one-year term.
If the position remains vacant following the Spring election, opportunities to be appointed to the position are offered during the Fall and Winter quarters. This student is your representative to SCSC and advocates for issues and concerns facing all commuter students.
