Student Activities & Organizations

The existence of student organizations and a program of student activities at North Central Texas College reflects the belief of administration, faculty and staff that although provision of a quality instrumental program is the institution's uppermost aim, the total college learning experience transcends the classroom.
The governing board and administration of North Central Texas College value opinions and input of students in regard to a wide variety of college-related issues, and they believe strongly in empowering students by giving them a meaningful voice in the institutional decision-making process.
Clubs and Organizations
Student clubs and organizations are sanctioned by the college administration according to the belief that each renders a particular service to the college and to the student body.
All student group-sponsored activities on the college campus are supposed to be sponsored by one of the recognized clubs or organizations and it's advisors.
Some of the recognized clubs are: Student Government Association (SGA), Presidential Ambassadors, Phi Theta Kappa, Lambda Epsilon Chi, Nursing Student Association, Collegiate FFA, Baptist Student Ministry, Proper Education Always Causes Elevation (PEACE), NCTC Republicans, Student Occupational Therapy (SOTA), North Central Texas College SWSN (Strong Women Strong Nation), Student Advisory Committee, Cooke County Astronomical Society, And Earth Pride.
