Elected SA officers govern the student body, plan activities to enhance the spiritual and social life of the campus, and give ACU students a voice in many important matters. Each year, students elect a president, vice president, treasurer and class officers to represent them in the SA's weekly meetings. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors also elect officers to oversee their specific class activities. Every student at ACU can have a car, as long as it is registered with the campus security police and displays a valid parking sticker. Unlike many other universities, Abilene Christian has ample room for students to park on campus, and each residence hall has adjacent parking lots reserved for student use.
Students living with their parents also are eligible to live off-campus.
Students who have been out of high school for at least two years may be granted permission to live off-campus. We reserve our campus for new students during the week before school officially opens. Welcome Week is a special time for new students at ACU to get to know each other and learn about college life. ACU upperclassmen lead the way during Welcome Week, beginning with the assistance they provide while helping you move into your residence hall room. Many of them volunteer their time during this important week to listen to your questions and provide advice based upon their experiences adjusting to college life.
