Commencement Activities
Five junior students who have distinguished themselves either through academic achievement or student leadership have the honor of being junior marshals and flag bearers in the annual commencement ceremonies. Junior students who have been selected for the following positions during the upcoming school year will be asked to participate: SGA president (school flag), SGA vice president (American flag), SGA student chaplain (Christian flag), SGA director for communications (student marshal) and SGA director for social life (student marshal). If any of these individuals are not juniors or are not able to participate, replacements will be made from student leaders.
Community Accountability
High standards of Christian conduct are expected of all students. Recognizing that true maturity involves a deep respect for the moral integrity of the individual, men and women attending this University are expected to uphold the community covenants of the University as outlined in the Student Handbook. Attendance at Trevecca Nazarene University is both a privilege and a responsibility. The University may request the withdrawal of any student who fails to comply with the standards, covenants and regulations of the institution.
Honor Society
This society is composed of full-time students who have completed at least 24 hours and who have a cumulative GPA of 3.5. Undergraduate students, both traditional and nontraditional, are eligible for induction into the Zeta Chapter of Phi Delta Lambda, the national Nazarene honor society, during the year in which they graduate. Inductees will have a minimum cumulative 3.8 GPA. Membership will not exceed 15 percent of the total number of graduates.

Students may participate in a variety of athletic activities throughout the year.
Publications
TrevEchoes, the campus newspaper, is published at regular intervals each semester. The Darda is the University yearbook which is published annually. Editors for both of these student publications are selected each year through an application and interview process and serve as members of the ASB executive committee.
Student Government Assembly
The Student Government Assembly (SGA) is composed of the elected representatives of the Associated Student Body of Trevecca Nazarene University. SGA serves as a liaison group between faculty, administration, and students. Student government coordinates student activities including elections and class events. The Student Government Assembly plans activities and programs throughout the school year in cooperation with the assistant dean of student life, the director of student life, the Student Life Council and the Social Life Activities Board. It nominates student representatives to serve as voting members of University committees, publicizes various honors and awards, and supervises the selection process for individuals and organizations to receive the all-school awards. The assistant dean of student life serves as the SGA advisor.
Student Organizations
There are a variety of student organizations on campus that provide a challenging and stimulating environment designed to meet student needs and interests and provide opportunity for community engagement. Other opportunities are also available through student organizations sponsored by the academic departments. The Center for Student Development oversees student organizations.
