Student Government

The primary purpose of student government is to help organize programs, activities and services that satisfy the many needs and interest of residents. The student governments combined have a program budget of about $128,000 per year. Student concerns are also represented in the decision making process for policies and procedures through the Policy Review Board (PRB) and the On-Campus Housing Council (OCHC).

There are numerious opportunities for resident involvement in student government. Floor/suite building/house governments are elected early in fall quarter, and then again in each subsequent quarter. Representatives from these units join with Cabinet Officers, who were elected the previous spring, to form the Association. Representatives from each Association meet together to form the On-Campus Housing Council. The Council and Associations are registered campus organizations of the University and are affiliated through the Office of Residential Life.

In addition to these elected student government positions you will find many more opportunities to participate, for example: in appointed positions, as committee members, taking on special projects, or working in task groups. More information about these prospects may be obtained from your Association President, Resident Assistant or Program Assistant.
