Student Association
Students are represented by the James Cook University Student Association which used to include sub organisations of Cairns Campus Student Association and the James Cook University Postgraduate Student Association, a member of the Council of Australian Postgraduate Associations. However, the Student Association Council has since merged into one representative body with seven elected members, with the positions of Townsville and Cairns Campus Officer, and Postgraduate Officer replacing the former campus and Postgraduate bodies.
Among the services provided by the Student Association are academic support, general administrative help, student welfare and non-academic activities. The Student Association publishes the student newspaper, The Bullsheet, fortnightly while the university is in session.
The current president of the Student Association is Justin Ganzer.
