Polytechnic University of the Philippines Student Council

The Polytechnic University of the Philippines Student Council (PUP SC) (Filipino: Konseho ng Mag-aaral ng Politeknikong Unibersidad ng Pilipinas), formerly known as Philippine College of Commerce Supreme Student Council (PCC SSC) before 1972, is the official undergraduate student union and prime representative of the student body of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines – Manila Campuses. It represents the interests of the students on the university, national, and global issues.

As the collective student representation in the university, the central and college student councils are composed of members elected amongst the student body of Manila Campuses, mandated to organize and direct campaigns and activities to defend and promote students’ rights and general welfare. Furthermore, it provides direct services to the student body.

The PUP Student Council is composed of the Sentral na Konseho ng Mag-aaral (SKM), also known as the PUP Central Student Council (CSC), the local student councils of all existing colleges, including Open University System (OUS) and Institute of Technology (ITech); and four (4) independent bodies namely: Student Council Commission on Audit (SC COA), Student Council Commission on Elections (SC COMELEC), Student Council Commission on Student Organizations and Accreditation (SC COSOA), and Student Council Student Tribunal (SC ST).

The Executive Committee of the PUP SKM is composed of the President, Vice President, Secretary-General, and Treasurer, who, together with the presidents of all college student councils from the Manila campuses, constitute the PUP Student Council Assembly (SCA), the highest decision and policy-making body of student councils at the PUP Main Campus, undergraduate level.

In contrast, the Alyansa ng Nagkakaisang Konseho (ANAK) PUP serves as the unified alliance and official federation of all student councils across the entire PUP System, including satellite campuses outside the Main Campus.
