Athletics
CASC competes in NJCAA Region II and fields intercollegiate athletic teams in Division II baseball (men), Division I softball (women), and became the first community college in Oklahoma to add Division I Cross Country (men, women) in fall 2017. In the spring 2019 CASC became a member of the National Association of Collegiate eSports and will become the first community college in Oklahoma to field team(s). The College also provides five athletic housing units.
Student Life
The College boasts 20 student clubs and organizations (C&O), including the Student Government Association, Phi Theta Kappa, and new Blue & White Club, that foster a vital campus life in both Poteau and Sallisaw campus locations. An online calendar of events provides students information on C&O meeting/events, student activities (Connection Carnival, Intramurals, Spring Fling), residential activities (Movies, Bowling, Skating), athletic events, and important academic dates. In addition, the new Viking Card is processed in Student Affairs and directly linked with the direct deposit college refund disbursements for students.
