The Graduate Student Association of Central Connecticut State University includes as members all full-time and any part-time students.

The Graduate Student Association (GSA) sponsors orientation activities for new graduate students, lectures, the GSA Scholarship, and Leadership Development Grants.  The latter assists graduate students to attend conferences and workshops or to complete research associated with the preparation of a thesis.  The GSA also funds the activities of graduate student societies in the academic departments.  In addition to sponsoring graduate student programs and activities, the GSA serves as a representative organization promoting graduate student interests on the Central Connecticut State University campus.  The GSA president is a member of the President's Cabinet which includes the University's administrative officers and the presidents of the Faculty Senate and the Student Government Association.  In addition, full-time and part-time students are represented on the University Planning Committee, the University Budget Committee and the Graduate Studies Committee.
