Serving the West of Scotland principally, the recently renamed University has a wide range of courses many available on all three main campuses. The shared campus at Dumfries has a unique representative body called Crichton University Campus SA and it combines students from all institutions on that campus. The Unions on the other campuses are relatively new buildings with the Association in charge from its central hub at Paisley. a wide variety of social events are organised throughout the session at each Union. In each semester the representatives hold meetings and discussions to set the Assocciation's policy and ensure members voice is heard as well as holding themselves accountable to the members. Students are represented on several University committees and Boards.
