The Office of Student Life

The Office of Student Life is your central hub for everything that happens outside the classroom, dedicated to making your time at NECC truly memorable and meaningful. We believe college is about finding your community, discovering your potential, and getting the support you need to succeed every step of the way.

Here is a look at what we actually do to help you shape your college experience:

• We bring the campus to life. From major student events to overseeing all of our campus clubs and interest groups, we design spaces where you can connect, share your passions, and build a welcoming community with your peers.
• We help you build real-world leadership skills. We actively advise the Student Government Association (SGA) and offer hands-on leadership development opportunities. Whether you want to run a student organization, advocate for your peers, or simply grow your confidence, we give you the tools to lead.
• We support you as a whole student. Your personal growth and well-being matter just as much as your academic success. We work behind the scenes to ensure you have an inclusive environment to learn and grow. Most importantly, we act as your campus compass—if you have a question, need guidance, or aren’t sure who to ask, you can always start with us.

Whether you want to join a club, step into a leadership role, or just figure out where to go for help, our doors (and email inboxes!) are open.

Budget Requests

The Student Activities Fee provides NECC students the opportunity to interact and participate in various campus projects, programs, and services that are intended to enhance learning, create a sense of community, and enrich the overall College experience. Extracurricular/co-curricular activities and student services that provide a direct benefit to the student body in general are deemed appropriate for funding from the Student Activity Fees.

Beyond budget allocations, a portion of the Student Activities Fees has been set aside for funding requests of all College departments, including clubs and organizations. Funds can only be used for the approved event or initiative. Only requests that provide a direct benefit to the student body will be considered.

To make a request, please email studentlife@necc.mass.edu
