Students' association

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Students' Association (SA) is a grouping of students through a common cause or identity typically found at universities and colleges. The term is sometimes synonymous with Students' Union, but is often used to denote organizations of students in a particular faculty or residence as well.

In Scotland, it can mean the student organisation comprising both the Students' Representative Council and the Students' Union, as well as (in some cases) other bodies such as Sports Unions and, in the case of the "ancient" University of Aberdeen, the "Debater" debating society, which predates all other parts of the SA.
