The Student Cooperative Association has played an extremely broad role in the cocurricular life of the university for more than seventy years. All students and faculty and staff members who pay the Activity Fee are members of the association. Virtually all campuswide activities outside the instructional program are sponsored wholly or in part by the association.

The Activity Fee is the chief source of income for the association’s programs. The student’s I-Card will admit him/her free of charge or at a reduced fee to university social, cultural, and athletic events. Other income for the association comes from the profits of the Co-op Store and income from events sponsored by the association.

The Student Cooperative Association operates the Hadley Union Building complex, which houses the Co-op Store and the Fitness Center. The Hadley Union Building, built by association members through the Activity Fee, offers many facilities for use by the university community.

The Co-op Recreational Park comprises 270 acres of wooded hillsides and fields. Included are a lodge building which will accommodate groups of up to two hundred people, a ski hut, an eighteen-station exercise course, cross-country skiing and hiking trails, a picnic shelter, an archery range, two softball fields, a golf practice range, and a pond for fishing.

Student Publications

The Penn, IUP’s campus newspaper, is published three times a week during the fall and spring semesters by students wishing to gain practical newspaper experience. Interested students are advised to attend organizational meetings held in the beginning of each semester. The Penn will carry notices of subscription drives. Applications for staff positions may be obtained from The Penn office. An on-line version can be found at www.coop.iup.edu/sc.

The Source (the student handbook) is distributed to all students electronically at www.iup.edu/studentconduct/source. It is maintained by the Office of Student Conduct and includes rules and regulations, the cocurricular program, and general information of interest to students.
