Campus Life FAQs

Student Life is a term referring to the everyday life of the student outside of the classroom. At Coastal, this includes student rights and responsibilities, student organizations, residential life, athletics, and student activities that make up the daily student experience.

Student Activities vary from campus to campus. Check out the information in our Handbook to learn more about our student organizations and athletics. https://catalog.coastalalabama.edu/student-handbook

The Coastal Alabama student experience is as unique as our individual students. Coastal offers a variety of student organizations, a student activities office, an active Student Government Association and competitive athletic programs for our students to connect with their classmates and develop leadership skills.

To find out more about a specific student organization, students should contact the organization’s advisor or the Student Activity Office. Additionally, the Student Activities Office hosts Get on Board Day events at the beginning of each semester to help interested students connect with student organizations.
