According to BINUS Support Portal, BINUS University manages student organizations through a formal framework that ensures autonomy and accountability. The framework outlines how student organizations are established, their rights and responsibilities, and the democratic election process for their leadership. Each organization operates independently within BINUS’s broader student affairs system, allowing students to express ideas, initiate programs, and represent their peers both at the faculty and university levels. 

The 2024 Inauguration of Student Organization Leaders demonstrated this democratic and transparent process, where newly elected leaders of various student organizations were officially inaugurated for the 2024–2025 period. This event reinforced BINUS’s commitment to student-led governance and participatory leadership. The elected leaders represent diverse student bodies—from academic-based associations to interest-based communities—ensuring inclusivity in decision-making and organizational direction. 

BINUS University formally recognizes an independent and inclusive student union system that empowers students to participate actively in academic, social, and civic development. These student organizations operate democratically and maintain their autonomy while collaborating closely with the university’s Student Advisory and Support Center (SASC). 

Student organizations at BINUS are classified into three functional categories, reflecting their diverse roles in the university ecosystem: 

Academic and Leadership Development Bodies
This category includes : 

  • BINUS Square Student Committee (BSSC) : The main purpose of BSSC is to hold creative and innovative events that are able to develop the soft skills and hard skills of boarders who lives in BINUS Square.  
  • Student Advisory and Support Center (SASC) : is the supporting unit that provides assistances and services for students in both academic and non-academic matters 
  • Student Involvement Center : is a part of student services in the coaching and development of student organizations such as Student Associations and Student Activity Units. 
  • Himpunan Mahasiswa Jurusan (HMJ) : student organization at the departmental level that serves as a platform for students to connect, discuss, and develop their potential in both academic and non-academic fields. 
  • Unit Kegiatan Mahasiswa (UKM) : A platform for students to channel their interests and talents.  

These bodies focus on fostering leadership, supporting student welfare, and enhancing academic and personal growth across all BINUS campuses. 

Community Engagement and Volunteerism Units
Organizations such as FAST Respond Community (FARCO), Teach For Indonesia (TFI), and Community Development Academic empower students to take part in social innovation, humanitarian initiatives, and sustainable community development. Through these activities, BINUS students contribute meaningfully to society while nurturing empathy and responsibility.

  • FAST Respond Community (FARCO) : Founded in 2018, FARCO became the only student organization at BINUS University specializing in first aid and emergency response. 
  • Teach For Indonesia (TFI) : A Community Program that is concerned with learning with the concept of community development which aims to make the community independent and improve the quality of life, especially for the future development of children. 
  • Community Development Academic : one of the implementing units in the Community Development Center responsible for helping coordinate community service activities and improving the quality of service to the community.

Global Dialogue and Policy Engagement Groups
Groups like The Indonesian Foreign Policy Community (FPCI) enable students to participate in discussions on diplomacy, international relations, and public policy. These platforms encourage critical thinking, cross-cultural understanding, and civic participation, aligning with BINUS’s mission to build global citizens who drive positive change. 

Through these diverse organizations, BINUS University ensures that students have a democratic, independent, and structured platform to express their ideas, advocate for student interests, and contribute to broader academic and societal development.
