A number of student-initiated associations are established and affiliated with the Student Affairs Office (SAO) to engage and serve the non-local student community. Non-local student associations not only provide a platform for students to make new friends and share their university experience but also act as a catalyst for nurturing an internationalised culture conducive to student integration. Extracurricular activities offered by these non-local student associations help foster cross-cultural friendships and exchange of ideas, contributing to a caring and fulfilling campus life for all students.
Currently, affiliated with SAO we have eight student associations set up by non-local students:
- Chinese Mainland Student Association (Weixin ID: PolyUSAOCMSA)
- International Student Association
- Indonesian Student Association
- Qazaq Student Association
- Korean Student Association
- Malaysian Student Association
- South Asian Society
- Taiwanese Student Association
