It is the student body that oversees sporting and social events held between the five undergraduate University colleges in Adelaide. The college clubs involved are from Aquinas College, Flinders University Hall, Lincoln College, St. Ann's College and St. Mark's College. There has been talk of the Lutheran Seminary joining SAAUCC for some years, but so far this has not happened.
