Legislative Branch

The Legislative Branch (or Senate) is composed of sixty-one student leaders who are elected by the student body each year. Our Senate works solely with students and the many student organizations on our campus to provide them with the funds necessary for travel, conference registration, event planning, and whatever other expenses that may arise and cause a financial burden on a student, through several committees. If you have any concerns or ideas regarding your rights as a student please contact us and we’ll be sure to take care of it. For more information on how the Senate works, please see the Senate Rules.

Regular Senate Meetings during Fall and Spring Semester are Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. in the Key West Ballroom. They are also available at that time through LiveStream.

The Senate meets every Thursday evening at 7:00PM in the Key West Ballroom on the second floor of the Student Union (and every other week at 6:00PM during the summer). Meetings are open to everyone, so if you’re interested in what goes on behind the scenes of SGA, feel free to stop by and bring a few friends if you would like.

If you are looking for information on the Senate Committee meetings, which are separate from regular Senate meetings, please see the Senate Committees page.

Please submit your Allocation or Bill through Knight Connect and your senator will contact you shortly regarding funding. For more information on obtaining funds, see the RSO Funding page.
