Student Activities
The College understands organized student activities are an integral part of the total education program. While studying and academics are a priority, each student should consider making a place for extracurricular activities and recreation.
Student Services coordinates all student campus activities, Student Government functions, on-campus speakers, and other student events.
Recreational Facilities
Main campus, West campus and Florida campus students and their immediate family members may use the campus recreational facilities and most of their services free of charge. Palmer Florida maintains information regarding other local fitness centers that offer discounts to its students.

Involvement in Community Crisis Situations
The College takes seriously its responsibility, and that of its students, staff and faculty, to develop and maintain awareness of the needs of the community in which we all live. To that end, the College encourages students, staff and faculty to, wherever and whenever possible, support activities that consider the overall welfare of the community.
Our campus communities in the Davenport, Iowa; Port Orange, Florida; and San Jose, California, communities can be affected by natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, fires or earthquakes. Precautionary and clean-up efforts are often undertaken by citizens. The College encourages all constituencies to support such efforts and, where possible, to donate their time and energy to such programs.
Students requesting leave from classes and clinical responsibilities to participate in community crisis situations must have preapproval from their instructors.
