Meeting Information

Click & request to be on the agenda

The Student Senate meetings are open to the public every Thursday at 3:30PM in SAC East 225 (Welcome Center building) and at the Watsonville Campus. The meeting schedule for both Aptos (room 225) and Watsonville Center (room A150) are listed below. All meetings can be accessed via zoom beginning September 10, 2026

The Student Senate allows hybrid meetings to promote access for the satellite campus and our distance learning constituency using the policy adopted by the Cabrillo College Board of Trustees. The Cabrillo Community College District and Student Senate welcomes public comment on issues within their jurisdiction of the college.
The Senate is committed to a culture of acceptance where all members of its constituency feel included, safe, and respected. To protect the college community from "zoom bombing," a national trend in which commenters call into public meetings with lewd, homophobic, racist, and vulgar remarks, the Cabrillo College Administration, in consultation with the Board, moved to eliminate public comments via the Zoom portal. Zoom will be for observation purposes only, those wishing to make public comments will need to participate in person at either the Aptos or Watsonville locations.
Those members of the student constituency wanting to make a virtual comment or needing specific accommodations, submit your request 24 hours prior to Alta at alnorthc@cabrillo.edu,
